I have looked at a few previous posts regarding this, but wanted a clear answer.
I am swapping out a rusted 500w spot for a similar one.
I am not getting an LED flood as I don't like them. Either the drivers die or the LED dies and then you have to buy a whole new one unless you want to spend the time disassembling it to try and fix it.
So I am getting a normal 500w flood (Timeguard) but using the LED equivalent replaceable bulb at 100w+ equivalent.
However....the current cable going to the flood is a bit ropey.
It looks to be a normal "gray" internal spec (Twin and earth?) cable.
I assume it should be some kind of exterior quality UV stable instead.
What type of cable should I use. It is only a short run from an isolation switch in the garage.
Based on the other threads, would this be the correct pick?

1.5mm seems to be the minimum but I'm sure is more than enough for a flood.
Or is there something more generic that would work?
