Hi all,

I’ll be fitting a new outdoor light next week. Does anyone have a link to a back entry wiska box they use/recommend please? This is what is currently installed

Many thanks in advance

I usually just open the drain hole at the bottom of a 308 and then cut a 20mm hole in the back of the box... apply a liberal amount of sealant on the back face and then screw it to the wall. If you're really concerned, run a bead of sealer half way up each side and across the top.

I've been doing it this way for many years and have thus far not had any issues with this approach.

Many thanks. Clear and concise. I’ll go with this
