In the sketch below of a friends conservatory, I have been asked to help install two wall lights. (which translates as me doing the work whilst my friend makes the tea) The light on the west facing wall (not shown) is not a problem, assuming that an area 150mm below a sloping polycarbonate roof-line is still classed as a safe zone, but the east facing wall is more difficult.
The wall where the light is shown is an external cavity wall with stone facing outside and thermal block / dry-lined inside. The outside faces onto a paved patio sitting area, the lighting circuit can be accessed via the main house.
In case anyone wonders about using a fused spur from the sockets, there are two double sockets connected to the house ring in the dwarf walls on the garden facing wall. One is on the ring and the other is a spur from it. It would appear that the cables are in conduit which has been buried in the concrete floor.
The light switch would probably be on the main house wall.
So, what do you reckon guys, where should the cable to the light fitting go?
