Coach Lantern style light with bottom or side cable entry points

Electric Magic said:

Hi all,

I have been asked to fit 3 coach lantern style lights on the outside of a house. The wiring is to be run externally, I'm having trouble finding a make that has bottom or side cable entry points. Pretty much all of the products I have found only have rear cable entry points. Can anyone recommend any products or suggest a solution? The customer isn't keen on lots of work being done inside the property. Thanks.

take the external wiring into a conduit box and use the rear entry option

what i havedone in this situation is to chase out some mortar at the bottom of the light, then feed cable behind the kight base.

Thanks Pete, do you mean take the external cable to a conduit box adjacent to where I position the lantern, then take the cable through the wall inside the house and then back out into the back of the fitting? Or something else?

You never actually answered my 1st question on how the lights are wired internally or externally, in order to answer your question I need that info to be able to offer what I think may be a solution to your dilemma.
