LED paving stones with their hands

Continuing the theme of garden paths.

Backlight tracks - an important element for the comfortable movement on the site in the dark. The easiest option - is to put a spotlight on the facade of the house (or more around its perimeter)

Spotlight is combined with a light sensor and a motion sensor sometimes. And also with the possibility of forced shutdown.

Perhaps this is the easiest and most inexpensive way to illuminate the area territory and tracks. But the aesthetics of such coverage is not enough. Reminds lighting some base or garages. Although this type of lighting portion can be mounted as a backup or first temporary.

What are the more inexpensive options? LED lamp with charging from the solar battery:

It gives a little light, suitable only for orientation movements. Winter is not effective, because not charging. All that with solar panels - it's just for the summer.

Lighting tracks various lamps on stationary poster powered from the mains through an underground cable:

I have a feeling of enclosure. Lamps themselves and the whole installation is not so cheap.

An interesting variant of the backlight - illuminated pavers:

It serves as to refer to the garden, and other tracks. But the cost of it some space:

And it's not the most expensive option in this manufacturer. Border costs about 10 thousand. rub. / pcs.

Although it is difficult to manufacture such decorative street lamps no. Take the LED matrix, it is poured in the form of a transparent epoxy resin composition. All about the same, as do furniture manufacturers countertops.

As this LED paving looks at the video:

Installation of the fixtures on the path of paving stones

Here, the installation takes place with the violation. The cable is not for underground installation, corrugated - also for internal use. To the outside is black, but it is not for underground installation.

But because of their cost, these products will receive a limited distribution. Since I have not seen in its design is nothing complicated, you can try and make yourself.

Purchased LED matrix of 10 watts. The cost of them, it seems, is now very small.

For their food needs even dimmer (power supply) taking into account the total capacity of all the chain of lamps. There is a matrix, and at 220, but they are more expensive. Mounted wiring (cable in metal for underground installation).

Next form prepared for paving blocks (with the application of release agent) is filled a transparent epoxy resin, the LED array is placed so that it was in the center of the casting.

It is possible to mount the circuit of the two matrices connected in parallel.

The power supply is also possible to pour the compound and placed in a sealed waterproof box around the track.

I think because of this handmade and small sales of LED products, this is such a great value in the market.

I like most about this option highlight tracks:

To do this, you can place borders between these self-made LED modules of polymer in two colors. Radiating portion pour into a transparent color, and skin - in gray, the color of the border.

Another option, as it is possible to mount the lighting tracks already laid paving stones. Sales have aluminum profiles for LED strips. They are filled with epoxy resin to seal the LED strip and is connected also to the power supply:

Of course, this design ideas at a stage when it is embarking on landscape design. But the laying of underground cables for this purpose must be provided in advance.
