I've been asked to quote on 40 spike lights in a garden in SWA - not near to a wall of mounting JB above ground.
I've done them before but not in this quantity. Whats the best way to do it.
Underground cable joints and make pond flex directly into joint - difficult to change faulty lights
Wiska boxes with magic gel
Wiska box with plastic compound - not sure what its called
any other method.
 
I personally would do it the old fashioned "octopus" method which was IMO the best and easiest way to wire a bungalow and garden lights.

I would but a little earth pit that you could sink in the ground and have the "octopus" in there and then radiate out to the lights.

If your talking fairly long distances then you could invest in a couple of pits, use a 2.5mm say main SWA and then drop down on the CSA at each point.
