A decent box would be better. Pratley boxes are good.

I am connecting a lawn light into both boxes (there is another box the same as the one in the picture), and 2 swa cable glands and a 20mm compression gland I thought would fit better in a wiska box as the prately box wouldn't seal the cable attached to the lawn lights.

Not having used it before, I read magic gel doesn't set that well in the cold weather so any thoughts/advice welcome?

I am hoping to slightly improve on the professional job I found (as per the picture). I should mention that in fairness to the 'home improvement' person that did this wonderful piece of work (that they permanently left laying on the lawn), they did go to the time and effort in covering the connectors with a disposable rubber glove, and the amount of money they charged the homeowner for this this and other similar work would be enough for me and the Mrs to go on a decent holiday.

What were they charged?

I asked the homeowner what it cost him and he said he paid the home improvement guy "thousands." It's a massive house and garden and the guy did lots of other electrical work and it's all to a similar standard to his handy work in the picture (the list is very long).
