SELV Outdoor Recessed Brick Lights

[tomspark93]

I have a customer who wants two brick lights installing in a wall either side of his electric gates. The Electric gate installer has installed flex from the control box to roughly where the lights would go, part of which is buried. Obviously I'm not comfortable about sending 240v down this unless it's swapped for SWA. I was wondering if anyone knew of a SELV fitting that could be installed in such a fashion so that the flex could still be used and the driver could be housed next to the gate control box. I've tried google but no joy yet.

fit a 240/12V transformer in the gate control box, then any fitting can be modded to take 12V halogen bulbs. or you could use 12V LEDs that will run on AC or DC.

Thats the problem, it's not RCD Protected and I don't think its in a duct. Unfortunately It was all done before I was asked about the job.
