What is the best cable to run down a garden cavity wall to feed led brick lights on each side other than swa

[sidekick]

With a cavity wall running down between a two drive way each client would like led brick lights. Other than swa, which is not that flexible to work with in such a small space, looking for tips on what other type of cable would be acceptable to use which is also easier to work with and terminate with the nylon stuffing glands on the back of each light.

NYY-J.

As above NYY-J is an obvious choice, much like SWA but without the armour.

Also pretty tough is the Flexishield stuff, but more expensive and not easily available by the metre.

If you want something very easy to wrangle then H07RN-F is an obvious choice. Reasonably tough and UV-resistant, but not so rodent-proof at Flexishield. However, you ought to use ferrules on the ends of fine stranded cables for most terminal types.

I'd like to see the cost comparisons with the Flexicon/singles and the NYY-J

With effort added in, any complete cable is going to be cheaper.

However, NYY-J has solid cores so is not that flexible at the ends. But if you can get "Tuff Sheath" cable (Doncaster Cables, think Yesss stock it) they are coarse stranded like conduit wire so a bit easier to wrangle.
