who designed it, and who supplied the lights? because it's a pants design. the lights should go on the brickwork with short flexes into ad, boxes fed by SWA.
 
Don't know who designed the patio bit I did electrical design and bought the lights too
I don't want to kick you in the teeth but it isn't the best design, I suspect you think the same or else you wouldn't be asking on here, sorry.
 
Hi, I've put some under ground lights in a restaurant with outside seating. The lights are in the ground but there is a kirb all the way around then some shale then a wall. I have come from armoured cable into a weather proof box. into a light sensor. then into a galvonised t box. this first t box is in the shale along with the rest of the wiring. from the t box with stuffing gland which goes to a ground light with flex which is fixed to the ground light. then also from the t box to another t box with armoured and then continues in the same pattern. Each t box has gasket and lid and is also filled with electricians silicone giving it ip68 compliance. I know there is a hundred opions about other ways it can be done BUT is there anything wrong with this way as this is the way I was taught and I don't believe it goes against any regs ? reason being is some other company has gone in and told them they need it all ripping out as it wrong
