12 v DC LED ribbon in brick and plaster wall.

[JolyBob]

HI All - need to run supply cables from the drivers to the ribbons in a new build. Its an ICF so will have min 10mm of plaster plus finish applied to what are effectively block walls. - Do i need to chase in the 12v DC supplies? and do i need to put these in conduit? - or is there a cement-proof cable/wire i can use? What do the regs say?

I would be inclined to chase-in a small duct (you can get 12mm or 15mm flexible, on-line) but (as far as I am aware) there is nothing to stop you plastering-in a PVC cable - just make sure it is in the approved zones, big enough for the job - dependent upon length - and it goes to the right place!!!
