I have a wall light I’m wanting to fix to a concrete fence post. The fitting itself however assumes the cable is coming out of the wall, so the gasket is in the centre of the back. I’ll be running cable up the front of the fence post however, and with this cable being circa 8.5mm thick the unit clearly won’t sit flush on the post....so I can’t figure out a clean way of fixing them to the posts. It’s a concrete fence post so channelling the cable up inside or similar is out of the question too. I’m thinking maybe having some kind of junction box/conduit box fixed to the post, with the cable running up into that, then the light fixing to the front might be the idea, but can’t find anything like that. The light fitting is a “Saxby Palin Twin Wall Light” and the mounting box is circular, 85mm diameter. Any ideas? A neighbour did similar but used much thinner cable so was able to pretty much just wire that up behind and still get it pretty flush. I’m wanting the more weather proof cable though so have opted for thicker rubber sheathed pool stuff.
Thanks
