Spike lights for Garden trees

[Welshsparky]

Have a customer who would like 3 spike lights in the garden to illuminate the trees at night, What is the method of terminating and connecting these lights? I was just thinking about running an armored across underground then terminating each connection in an IP65 box close to the spike light then flexing out to the light?

Spot on Welshsparky, perfect. Just get a secure fixing for your IP connection box and make sure the customer does'nt hit the flex with a spade. On long runs, remember VD, I know its obvious but I had to say it (foregot it once, never again)

Iv seen many done like this, they were on grass though so the boxes wernt fixed to anything but still best way to do it! If it was me and they were on the floor I'd fill them with magic gel too!

Put the cable from your IP rated box to the light in some kopex flexi conduit
