Thanks guys for all your advice!

hi
I do a fair bit of outside lighting and have to agree with nick blake, i run SWA into galv t boxes with lids , resin and seals then us FP cable as its weather proof and stays what shape you put it in with coated p clips and sealing gland into the t box

i'd have to say my preferred option when wiring lighting in swa is instead of an adaptable box use a master seal socket, make off your connections as if you were feeding a socket circuit, and wire the lights on to a 13A plug top.

This way allows individual lights to be isolated, or removed completely with out affecting the rest of the install, it also allows easier fault finding should a problem occur.

unfortunately it will add about £20 per point to the install cost.

Most practical way of connection,shame these nice looking light fittings have no easy method of connecting swa's.

Any specific reason for trying to resurrect this 6 year old thread like some kind of Frankenstein?
I would imagine the lights have already been installed.

Think we can lay this thread to rest as it is 6yrs old, a new thread can be started if any member wishes to which will be more up to date with options and products available.
