My second post I am getting brave:blush5:
I am estimating a job this week for a customer who wants three garden lights mounted on his fence approximately 75 metres, so each light at approximately 25 metres.
The plan is to run from the consumer unit either 1.5mm or 2.5mm twin and earth through trunking, (dependent on the wattage of the lights and the length of the cable run) internally inside the garage attached to the house where the consumer unit lives. Out through a hole in the garage wall and terminate it into a Wiska box on the outside wall. Then SWA to another Wiska where I can spur off to a light switch at the rear of the garage where there is a utility room to switch the garden lights on and off.
The SWA will be cleated along the gravel boards of the fence and then at each light an additional Wiska to take a flex up to each of the lights.
I haven't done garden lights for ages and last time I did Hi-Tuf was the flex of choice to take up to the lights from the Wiska's. QVS still advertise Hi-Tuf as being a cable still available but TLC advertise NYY-J. Is it the same thing? or can anyone recommend an alternative flex that is UV protected and ok for outdoor use to take upto the lights via the fence posts.
Pretty sure I am going to get the job as I have done some other work for them recently and sitting in the garden terminating some SWA in the impending 30° heat down south seems quite appealing. Better than sitting in a loft space!!!!!!!
