I am installing a custom sized (15ft X 17Ft) Aluminium pergola in my backyard on a concrete with tiles.
The Aluminium pergola and kitchen are powered from one of the outlet from the house.
Please note, the pergola has inbuilt lights and will be powered from one of the outlet from the...
Just received a Eufy CCTV floodlight camera (This one) which requires existing wiring. We have two outdoor lights on the side of our house with a cable running between them, my plan is to T off of this cable using a weatherproof junction box and cable glands.
My question is what type of cable...
Grateful for a kick in the right direction on the following: a telecomms engineer stated out that an outdoor metal cabinet (earthed & bonded) was an unsuitable enclosure for a network switch and patch panel to be installed into, as it was not IP rated.
As it happened, the size of the cabinet...
I would like to add a flood light camera and outdoor outlet to the front of my house where there is no existing wiring. I plan to get power from an outlet inside my garage and feed UF cable through a hole that I will drill above my garage door. The roof (eave) extends passed my garage door and...
This is the setup I am trying to put together. No idea what to buy in terms of parts. The bulbs will be low watt patio style incandescents.
I am in the UK and these will be for outside. Just want to make sure I don't electrocute myself.
The lights will be hanging - not levitating like in the...

Hi all,
I have a Malibu 120W Light timer for low voltage outdoor lights. When I manually set to ON, the lights go on, so I know the lights are wired correctly. But the timer is set to run off the photocell: lights on at dusk, and off 4 hours after dark. However the lights do not turn on at...

I have installed and outdoor enclosure to primarily house outdoor network and IoT devices. I need power for PoE injectors, power supplies, etc. The Carlon outdoor enclosure is 12 x 12 x 6 and has a sealed lid attached with screws. I extended the existing outlet (GFCI) by using 1/2 PVC...
The previous owners of our property had non in ground rated electrical hardwired into the basement from an outdoor submerged pond fountain. Needless to say it was causing issues. I disconnected and dug up the corroded wiring which went into a switch plate on the outside wall. Layed down new...
Good afternoon.
I’ve recently moved into my new home. I’ve taken down a conservatory and bagged up the existing indoor socket that is now exposed to the elements.
I’ve bought an outdoor socket and I’m looking to simply replace the existing one, using the existing wires. There isn’t a recess...
I have a dark dingy old Victorian coal storage area in the basement, just below street level, accessed via a gate and stairs to the basement flat. The sheds used to store coal but then became a bin storage area but the council won’t collect bins from down there anymore, so it’s just been lying...
I am planning on running wire about 135 ft (100ft underground) from a panel (20amp breaker) in our garage to my outdoor bar. The bar will house some LED string lights, a tv and a frig at this time. Heat and Grilling are propane. I was planning using 8/2 NM in a conduit to a 2 breaker (20 amps...
Hi!
I’d like to install a pedestal-mounted (230 V, 30 A max - programmable) EV charger close to my driveway, which ends about 12 feet away from the house, on the other side of a landscaped rock wall of sorts. While I am at it, I would like to oversize the circuit to allow a second EV charger to...
Hello, I am looking for some recommendations for external motor isolators with Aux contact block. Ideally large enough to gland 3 cables at the bottom, most likely 3x M20. possibly 2x M25 1x M20 for a few. I have taken over maintenance on a site and most isolators are unserviceable and will need...
Hi there just looking for a bit of advice on a landlords supply within a block of new build flats my question is there is 6 outside lights which light up the path way to the bin stores. Now what I was thinking of doing is wiring them through the downstairs flat and drilling through and running...
A little about myself first. After doing a physics degree I began working in the battery backup industry designing, testing and building prototype battery backup systems for the telecoms and oil industries. I then worked for a company building switch gear for the rail industry where I qualified...

I am trying to daisy chain some outdoor LED lights. If I split the main power cable the first light comes on but none of the rest light up, really frustrating me as I have daisy chainEd lights in a previous home with no issues. The lights I am using are double...
I have bought some net led lights that are permanently installed outside.
The problem is, I don't have an outdoor socket. And the socket in the shed is too far away.
I can buy an extension to the low voltage lead, for around £10 delivered, but I'd ideally like to plug it in outside.
All the...
I have a query around installing some outdoor lighting, I plan to install around 15 outdoor lights containing GU10 led 4.7w bulbs. While I am confident with fitting and cabling the lights I am unsure of how to connect them to the mains. Is it possible to simply connect them to an already...
