Hi, hope someone can please help.
I want to install a simple 150W outdoor PIR security light. The cable length I require is approx 7 meters.
I am unsure what cable to buy: Should I buy a 2-core with insulated earth wire, or would a 2-core with a bare earth wire also be ok?
I was planning on feeding the wire through an existing hole in the brickwork which is maybe a couple of meters above ground, and then connect it to a standard 3-pin 13amp plug, to plug into a wall socket when the light is occasionally required.
Is this ok? Or does it have to be hard wired in?
Thanks for your help; any advice is very much appreciated!
