I'm hoping this will be an easy one!
Ive just installed some fence lights and wired them using 3 core 2.5mm cable (overkill I know but I had a spare roll) to a choc block inside a junction box.
I also have some small LED deck lights that run via an LED driver and to a plug, however I have snipped off the plug and it turns out the LED power cable is 2 core braid type cable. Due to the lengths involved I've connected this via an in line connector to a piece of 2.5 mm and sheathed and taped the earth. This then runs to the same choc block in the junction box.
Both of these 2.5mm cables join to a single piece of 2.5mm which then plugd into an RCD protected outdoor socket.
It doesnt work ...
Can anybody tell me if there is anything obvious I have done wrong? My next step otherwise is to just take it all apart and reconnect.
Cheers,
Rob
