Just replaced my Halogen Floodlight with a LED one from Screwfix. I opted for one without a lead.
However the cables to the Halogen one were two "single and Earth" cables that came through the wall and these are not a good fit into the gland.
I will have to mount a suitable waterproof JB and fit a flex into the lamp.
Any suggestions for a neat and suitable box that will neatly accomodate the cables and a flex.
Wiska boxes are generally OK for jobs like this and have 20mm threaded entries with a pierceable membrane - bottom entry can be done without a gland if strain relief is not required.
Or any waterproof box (google TLC) and fit appropriate glands (Pratley glands exist for flat T+E cable)
Is the gland at the bottom of the light?

Out of the back - and pointing upwards as the lamp is angled downwards.
It was downwards on the original Halogen light.
:-(
But pretty much all IP rated boxes are the same.
I do like these, however when I fit them and only use two entry points and fit the box so that the entry points are at sort of 4 and 8 o'clock (IYSWIM)
And I fit a drain hole.
DOH. Forgot the link
