Went into the side of a 4 inch outside pipe the other week, used 1 jubilee clip and a inch wide slice off of a pipe repair kit (8mm hole).
Its hidden in the bushes around the side of the house, so no-one should ever know.

Holy crap,a lot of replies to an essentially s--t problem

Some of the replies were crap, solid even
A turd of the replies were sensible
Another turd were soft and gentle
The other turd didn't emerge, though a lot of effort was exerted trying to pass the comment

 

[Electricalserv]

It would be quality if the cowboy bodge failed and I=P was called back to mop up the crap!

 

[Silly Sausage]

You'll be getting a reputation as a horse riding cattle herderer at this rate...:wink5:

Seriously though, you had the balls to own up and ask advice.

If it was me, I would have just told the customer that there is no way they can have a light there because of the proximity of the other service pipe. I hope this isn't something that comes back and haunts you at a later date when someone sticks a 50W halogen in there.
