got a job to put in some outside lights and it turns out the guy wants a couple of lights lighting some trees from below. He is after soft lighting so I was thinking some diffused CFL spots but I've never done ground mounted lights before.
Is IP44 good enough or do I need to go higher for ground mounted stuff? Are there specific mechanical requirements for ground lighting?
What about cabling? I was already planning SWA underground from the house but was originally planning flex (NYY-J?) from that to the lights. Now I am not sure the best way of cabling to the ground mounted lights as I guess flex is likely to be damaged. swa all the way? it could be a pain to get underground to where he wants the lights because of tree roots......
