Outdoor Socket

[nabby68]

I’m looking for an outdoor socket that is large enough to accept a transformer plug for a water feature. Unable to locate one so would appreciate advice on this.
Thanks

Thanks Chunkytfg, I did see that when browsing but it’s a bit bulky for what I need.

A plastic box such as: https://cpc.farnell.com/europa-comp...nkmPBQKuMmVr6Wvu7AWJa38kVIEDjIKkaAtp-EALw_wcB
But chose a size that works with a socket inside.

Edit:
keep the wall wart indoors and extend the lowER voltage cable.

I've used one of these previously for a transformer plug that had to be located outside...

Mains is low voltage. Did you mean extra low voltage?

Hope you like the correction.

It looks like there are several plates in there, can they be moved around to accomodate wallwarts with the bigger bit below the pins?

I guessed you'd sent that before I read your name alongside it.

thanks Dannyboi2003 that looks as though it will do the job

Yes, they're pretty much Euro modules, so you can set the socket as top, middle or bottom, depending on the shape/direction of the wall wart.

Brilliant find and not bad at that price, a google search comes up with the same thing at up to £40
