    Outside light close to incoming supply cable?

    Hello, I was just wondering if there are any rules governing where I can put an outside light in relation to my incoming meter supply cable. Can the supply for the light cross over the main supply cable? Do I need to keep the fitting a certain distance away? thanks, Simon.
