Outside light

[Tomac1980]

Hi, please can someone advise. I have completed the domestic installers course which was great but it did not cover outside lighting. I would like to install an outside light in my garden and due to the position I would have to bury the cable underground. There are no blanks in the DB and would really like some advice
Thanks in advance

I honestly don't know whether to laugh or cry, 15 years to go max and I retire. I pity the lads coming into the trade now.

does it really take them that long to learn to solder a few pipes together thought it would only be a few hours tops

I need some help with external lighting.....I have a seven foot fibre glass mooning gnome, with a red plastic opaic bottom, I wish to fit a 60w lamp inside the gnome to upset my neighbours. I have run a 1mm swa to the gnome which is ip58 rated, is it sufficient to end the earth path at the bango, or will i need furthur bonding. As the garden facest east I wish the gnome to flash every 4 hours when all 22 come to the back window to pray...your thanks in advance

ABSOLUTE TURD!

A lamp is an appliance, a bulb is a bulb and a luminaire is the last word you say on site right before a hard and hospitalising slap round the chops!

I would like to see any electrical catolog which states in it they sell bulbs, just looked in TLC, Wilsons Neylec all state LAMPS...not a mention of a bulb for sale...!!!....but plenty of gu10, mr16 and comercial lamps...!
