OK, I'm installing a couple of outside wall lights to the front of new build house. The lights are to be installed either side of front door. Protruding outwards at 90 degrees to the house either side of the front door area are 2 x thick cavity brick walls (not covered like a porch) . The thick walls are face brick work both sides. The walls are each approx. 2m long. Wall lights are to be sited half way, in other words about 1m from the house. From inside the house I need to get a cable to each wall light position. Cables will drop down from ceiling in hallway approx 1 m, then go horizontally through house cavity wall ( as if wall light was other side) towards the protruding face brickwork walls.
Hope above all makes sense. Internally I will ensure cable is run within a safe zones. ie light switch below 1 x wall light cable run and a socket will be sited under the other light cable run. As new build, I don't want to surface clipped cables on face brickwork. In this particular case as walls are outside could I go via cavity (horizontally) possibly in pvc conduit.I know it's not allowed now by today's standards within the house. Would another way be to carefully drill horizontally within the face brickwork to wall light point?
Hoping of course that the drill doesn't wander and mess up the face brickwork.
