Installing garden post lights

[Ashley-Joseph]

So I have been asked to install 2 garden post lights in and I was going to use a 3 amp fcu from the ring using 2.5mm then into a juntionbox with 1.5mm swa burried more than 600mm deep and concrete the posts in the ground. Just wondering if this was the correct way before I start ?

I hadn't realised 1.0SWA was still available, I've only ever seen it in some old installations.

It doesn't exist (anymore) so far as I'm aware.

I have seen 1mm high tuff in the wholesalers

As far as I know it's not 1.5 is the smallest you can get

Some of the slimmer bollard lights are too thin to fit a conduit box in. These look very similar to the last set of these I had to install...caught me out, ended up using resin Y joints buried adjacent to bollard, with a tail up into the bollard connected directly to the lampholder.
