I am installing a lamp post in my front yard. I already have electrical ran to the outside that was used for a lamp post many years ago (previous owners). They ran the cable not in conduit underground about 6 inches at most. I am going to put a new lamp post in and I was thinking that the electrical cable should be in a conduit. The existing cable is underground rated (or so it says on it). Thoughts on the conduit. Also, in the trench would you lay gravel or sand? Any general advise anyone can offer? Tips, tricks, or advise from experience?
Thanks Amy.
