Patio wall brick lights

[sidekick]

Does anyone know the best way to fit and connect x 10 LED brick lights in patio dwarf wall where both sides are visible and to be rendered.
Have t/e inside ready to feed through wall to outside but without actually having the brick lights yet not sure how it will or should work.
Assume conduit through cavity of wall which although is only 10mm at moment i can get to it as no copings fitted yet.
Problem is not sure how to connect and loop from one light to next.

Using flex is easiest, led ones I fitted came with 2 flex glands, one in and one on. Hope that helps

I wouldn't have used t+e, either flex or hituff with stuffing glands, you're better off getting the fittings to see for yourself the best way to connect them

Meaning?

Meaning basic stuff, or even very basic to the point where asking such a question is giving yourself a showing up.
Therefor my assumption, Electrical Trainee.

As long as you are getting it down with expenses to below the 40% threshold Monkeye.

Of course! On paper i'm below £8000 so i don't pay any tax at all, they'll only waste it

Was the course in cake decorating though?

Thanks for that. Was thinking of using hi tuff flex from outside via adaptable box but not sure how the lights will need connecting as customer selected one which is currenntly out of stock.
If they do have the 2 flex glands, one in and one out that would be simple. Would the flex need to be in conduit in the cavity. it would only be a couple of inches down with a coping on top so thought ok without.

arctic flex would be best to use. and just look it up online on the one they picked sure there is some info on the item

Now have the fittings which came prewired with 2m flex and no way to loop in/out at the fitting. So I can minimise the wiring back to supply j/box at house wall I would like to get away from separate run of cable in conduit to each light. If anyone has experience or best method I could adopt I would appreciate advice. Unable to run 10 cables into house as it has solid concrete floor so would all be in the room.
