Hi,
Next month Im planning (in conjunction with my patio work) to fit recessed LED lights into the actual patio slabs.
think about what happens to the electrical cable that feeds the lights once it comes out of the house and needs to go underground.
The fittings that I plan to use allow 3 fittings to be wired in series. Im using 6 fittings so I need two feeds. My plan was to run 2 x 1.5mm SWA out of a hole in the wall of the house and then down the wall in some conduit.
Speaking to a mate of mine reservations were raised about whether this would be possible. I gather that SWA isnt very flexible and I may have trouble bending it around in the condiut box the required 90 degrees to run down the wall.
He also mentioned glands. I plan to fit a conduit box to the exterior wall with a hole in the back for the cable to run into the house. So basically, one conduit box on the wall with approx. 1 meter of conduit going down the wall into the ground. Where would I need to fit glands?
Any other thoughts on if Ive got the right idea here?
Cheers,
CM.
