Light in garden shed

oldwiseblack · Apr 1, 2015

The shed is about 3m from the house so ill gaffer tape the extension leads to the washing line but what lights do you guys recommend?

Marlboro lights for me

If the washing line is plastic coated steel then no need for the cable, whack a stake in the ground at the shed for N and E and use the washing line as the live. Voila, a home made TNC supply.

OP ...

You won't electrocute yourself, but you might burn the shed down.
Dangerous places, sheds.

What a stupid question! "Gaffer tape"???? Need to use metal cable ties now, keep up with the regs!!!

As for lights? You should go for 6 x 500w sodium floodlights. That extension cord will be ok, I think?????

Nowt wrong with Gaffer Tape.

It's been fixing things from broken microphone stands through Roadies ripped jeans to burst truck radiator hoses, shredded fan belts and anything and everything between for decades and will still be doing so long after the new fangled metal cable ties have rusted into oblivion!

He should have made that clear at the outset
We could have answered his question without him being embarrassed and poked fun of in the open forum
