Wiring outdoor Wall Sconce LED Light

[JiSingh12]

Hi guys,

my whole post got deleted so time to write again.

I am used to wiring indoor lights but need some help for outdoor. We are putting in 4 LED Wall lights and i am wondering what cable to use for it? Is it SWA, SY, Outdoor Rubber Flex, or something else? Can i just use basic 1.5MM T&E that i have laying around from indoor projects, and as it is weaker than outdoor cable, could i use it and bury it in outdoor conduit? The lights are rated at approx. 5W according to the Amazon listing, and also they use mains power. Therefore have inputs for Live, Earth, Neutral.

It is within touchable distance as will only be around 1M off the ground, it is to light up the front of the house so I am guessing there is guidelines/regulations about what is used and how?

So basically which cable is best to use, and I was planning to just take power from the closest indoor socket and terminate with a standard 13A plug on the end so i can just turn it off and on all at once.

Thank you
Ji

indoors you can use T/E to go out through wall into a wiska box. then use black sheathed flex (pond flex or H07RN) to the outside lights.

I want to terminate using a standard 13A plug in a socket... from my understanding the Pond Flex is only 0.75mm according to Screwfix website (it's all I can find), and research shows me that 0.75mm can only use 6A fuse?

Or would it be okay? I mean I doubt the load would get anywhere near 6A in the first place.

sorry, ignore my previous message.

I got some 1.5MM Pond Flex from Screwfix, only needed 10M.

What's your idea of the best way to wire it? Should I bury the cable and just use junction boxes or wagos under the soil, or just use outdoor junction box and have it on the wall.. debating.

Is it possible to bury with some conduit?
