Hi
I need to install some security light to my daughters house and need advice on the wiring. My idea is to run an external quality 1mm rubber covered cable from an internal 13amp socket, (protected by an RCD plug) through a hole in the wall, going to the light furthest away from the plug, about 7mtr. This first light would be 150w PIR controlled. (the PIR is part of the light fitting, not stand alone). I then want to fit one or two 400w PIR lights somewhere along the cable. I was thinking of fitting external junction boxes rated IP66, one for each of the 400w lights. These would be connected to the original cable. Then I would run a short length of the same cable from each junction box, to each of the 400w lights.
I would be very grateful if someone could tell me if this would be the correct way of wiring.
Thanks
