Frequently Asked Questions

In fact all of our products come in 12 Volts DC version and connect to the main supply through the power converter (transformer). Such a voltage level is considered safe in most countries and is not bounded by any special restrictions. You can find 120V/12V transformers in the Accessories section of our web site, or just inform us in advance that you require one.

It depends on the power consumption of each paving light and the complete installation all together.

The power and quantity of the transformers may be calculated in the following way: for example, you have to connect 20 pcs of Alfa paving lights, in white color (LX217322). The total power consumption is: 20 x 0.84W = 16.8W. So if you want to connect them into the single chain, you'll need a single transformer type LX32, for 25W. If, for instance, you have to connect these 20 lights divided into 2 chains - you'll need 2 transformers type LX31 for 10W each.

One of the most important components in every Luxona product is the LED module. It runs inside of Luxona's glowing stones and paving lights as a light source. We do understand how important is to ensure a long life and reliable operation. That is why we deal with one of the most reliable suppliers of LED modules, produced in Europe, according to the highest quality standards.

By original intention, each of our products has been designed as a completely sealed one, entirely water- and dust- proof, that is why the LED module can not be replaced. Nevertheless, according to the technical data sheet provided by our LED manufacture, the life time of LED module is about 60.000 hours. Of course there are some types of installation where our lights will be really working 24/7, so calculated to days it makes about 2500 days or roughly about 6 years of permanent operation. But in most cases (household applications) the paving lights would not have to be operational for more than 6 hours daily - so it means about 27 years of operation. However, it has to be considered that the life time of LED module depends on the ambient temperature, and can be significantly reduced if the temperature exceeds 50 'C (122'F).

Within a certain period of operation the paving lights can be soiled with dust and results in the loss of their brightness and color contrast. Such a problem can be easily solved with the help of a plastic brush (mildly hard), and water from a hose. Also you can add some regular liquid soap or, in case of necessity, you can wash it with a high pressure water spray used for a car. After such treatment your paving lights will shine again in vivid and bright colors.

Yes, it is possible. It is bit complicated, but nevertheless still possible. The idea is to dismount a necessary quantity of rows of existing paving elements to lay down the cables in the gravel. Then you have to connect them all together on one side and return the paving elements to their place. Incurred gaps between the paving elements have to be filled with sand. You can do that with a brush with polymer fibers. In particular cases, it might be necessary to seal the lighting stones with cement to ensure the safety of the installation. We hope to provide some instructional pictures and videos to show how to do that in the near future. 

Yes, it is possible. The paving lights are entirely water-proof (IP68) and able to accept a high mechanical pressure and also feed the voltage in safely. That is why they can be safely installed into the walls or the bottom of the swimming pool. The paving lights do not contain any metal or other parts predisposed to corrosion, and are neutral to chemical additives used for water treatment. Of course it is very important to perform all electrical and engineering calculations in advance, taking into consideration the cable length and the commutation scheme. All of Luxona's products are manufactured equipped with a cable 1.5 meters long. If it is not enough, then you will have to order the desired cable length according to your requirements (subject to additional surcharge 1.0 EUR/meter). Also it has to be taken into consideration that power convertors (transformers) have to be installed in a sealed box, above the water level.

Luxona's products are manufactured from raw material, with extremely high mechanical features. According to the data sheets provided by the manufacturer, the material is able to accept the compressive strengths up to 137 Mpa, and flexural strengths to 90 Mpa. It is more than enough to allow even a heavy vehicle to drive over them without any problem. Thanks to their high mechanical robustness, our lighting stones (and paving lights) are commonly used for installations into the drive- and pathways of different types - asphalt, cement, concrete, gravel or natural stone pavement. Nevertheless it is not recommended to install the paving lights into driveways where the vehicles move faster then 40 km/h.
