Hi all,
Question: Can swa be laid so that the end point in the run is a garden light?
Background: I'm getting the patio/drive excavated in the next few weeks. I'm will be laying swa and cat6a in a trench for the planned garden room. No problem there - have previously been advised. However, I would like to have some lights in the garden. I won't be connecting anything up to anything - I'll get an electrician to do all the connecting, testing etc etc whenever I get any money together to buy garden lights - but I want to plan it now as whatever goes down won't be coming up.
As you can see in the picture, the idea is to bring swa from the closet which houses the consumer unit and bring it around the garden along the border where I'll have hedges/flowers etc. A few sections will be buried - under the drive entrance etc.
I suppose my question is - I don't have a circuit or loop. There'll be one end attached to the consumer unit. Am I correct in saying that it's ok that the other end is attached to a garden light?
Hope that makes sense what I'm asking. Is it ok to lay it like this or will there be problems down the line.
Planning on laying 3x1.5mm - the run is about 30m.
Many thanks.
