Recommendations for surface mounted garden lights

[Gringoking88]

Hi all,

Hope you are all well and all is good!

Can anyone recommend a nice looking garden light that can be surface mounted with side or bottom entry, e.g. can be retro fitted with surface mounted cabling?

Thanks in advance,

Martin

Do you mean a wall mounted light as in surface mounted? If so there are loads of decorative options out there from brands like Collingwood, aurora etc depending on budget

Hi,

Yes, the light is to be wall mounted with surface mounted cabling.

I've searched and can't find a thing ?

Thanks,

Surely most, or at least an awful lot of, lights could be installed like that if you just drill a hole/make a cutout in the mounting?

Not really as you would compromise the IP rating. These are outside on a garden wall.

Why not chisel out a bit of the mortar behind the light and go in through the back?

You've got to have a hole somewhere.

Depending on the design of the light, one at the bottom might be the easiest way to avoid water ingress....

...and allow for water to leave the fitting if it does manage to get in
