A client of mine is after some recessed LED's preferably green although i'm trying to talk him into white. There will only be 8 or so.

Its the first time i have done any and whilst the spark will be doing the transformer etc I would like to at least find out a little about them.

Any advice on type, quality or other pitfalls would be most welcome.

I was thinking of coring the slabs (indian Sandstone) to get a neat hole??

you will be very surprised at how long it takes to core injun stone

we fitted 150mm uplighters 13 years ago and had nothing but problems

there had to be armoured cable and a mini soakaway under each light

I nearly did my bollox on that job

took about an hour to core each hole but the stone was thicker then

how about some of those fancy LED rope lights around the edge of the patio
you know what they stick under kitchen pelmets?

cheers
