:) OK, will do

Sure breezer, you mean out of the box or installed and working (may be a week or two).

:D Thanks a lot for the advice guys, lights arriving from TLC on Monday. Hope they're the business or I'll be camping out on the deck! P.S. Cheques in the post, breezer

:roll: OK guys, you win!! May go with one of these http://www.lighting-direct.co.uk/ground_lighting.htm. Either the Twilight 30mm 8 White LED 4 Light Kit or the Twilight 40mm 6 White LED 4 Light Kit and add an extra four lights to make eight in total. Presumably since the 30mm light has...

:( Sorry Guys, hear what you say about LEDs and might have spent a bit more time investigating them but son's birthday barbeque is fast approaching and I'm under strict orders to "get on with it!!" So went with said cr***y lights to CEF today to see what they could sort out for me in the way...

Yeah, apologies breezer. Had just been reading a posting debating the pros and cons of 1.5mm against 1.0mm cable and put 1.5mm T&E by mistake. I have in fact used 2.5mm. Does this artic blue flex still want to be run in plastic conduit? Thanks for the quick reply!

:?: Hiya all, Am wanting to install some low voltage deck lighting outside. Have currently taken a spur off a mains socket (which is 30mA RCD protected) using 1.5mm T&E to a 3amp FCU and from that using 1mm T&E to a light switch. I currently have same 1mm T&E running through outside wall...
