What
is the 'low' voltage of Hunza light fittings and what lamps or bulbs
do they use?
All of the fittings are 12 Volt Dichroic and capsule lamps they
are available in a variety of watt ratings from 5 up to 50-watt,
beam angles from 12 to 60 degrees…except for the AR1-11 fitting,
this will take up to a 100-watt lamp. These particular lamps are
available with different beam angles the standard angles being 12,36,60
Degree
What are Hunza lights made from?
Hunza lights are manufactured in three different metals; 316 Stainless
Steel, Copper and Aluminium Alloy. The Aluminium Alloy is Powder
Coated so that the colour does not fade from the sun. Hunza standard
colours are green, black white and silver. The 316 Stainless Steel
is a top grade finish and will not tarnish despite all weathers.
The Copper fittings will by nature gradually darken with age and
eventually turn verdigris this is a feature of copper, not a disadvantage.
Are transformers included with Hunza lights?
Some Hunza light fittings do come with an option of an integral
transformer and is extremely useful when routing a transformer represents
a problem; examples are when one cable is coming out of a wall.
Hunza compatible transformers are rated at 60 VA (volts Output)
so these fittings can only take 20-watt lamps and may be dimmed
with a leading edge dimmer switch. Such fittings are referred to
as Retro fittings because they are fitter 'after'. Some of the other
fittings are available with this option e.g. Bollard, Pole, Walkway,
Twig light, Border lights and Tier lights. All of the other fittings
will require a remote transformer. These are connected to the mains
circuit, which would be routed around the border of the garden,
and should be 240-volt steel wired armoured cable. The transformers
should be positioned as near to the fittings as possible as voltage
drop is present on the low voltage side. L.I. transformers are IP67
suitable for total burial. UK manufactured, wire wound mechanical
transformers totally encapsulated in resin and is dimmable. (Manufacturer

What does the abbreviation "IP"
ratings stand for?
Abbreviations "IP" ratings stand for Ingress Protection.
Protection against ingress of dust,liquids and impact.
What IP rating is appropriate for submersible
fittings?
All fully submersible Light fittings must be IP68 rated such as
Hunza Pond & Pool Lights.
How are cable joints created?
All cable joints should be potted in an appropriate IP rated junction
box or a suitable heat shrink insulation should be used onto cable
connections.
Do Hunza fittings take GU10 Lamps (mains
voltage lamps)?
No, do not attempt to put mains voltage lamps in low voltage systems.
What length of cable do the Hunza fittings
come with?
Cable Lengths on
Hunza fittings are generally 1 metre long additional length cable
attached to these fittings would need to be at an additional cost.
Do Hunza light fittings come complete with
lamps?
All Hunza fittings come complete with appropriate Hunza lamps
What angle are the lamps?
All lamps are a medium angle 38 Degrees
