I would steer clear of the Flex range, there are still reports of firmware bugs. The G2-12 and G2-20 (having up to 12 zones and 20 zones respectively) can be picked up from eBay for less than £50 and are more solid. They don't come with any manuals - though Google is your friend here. They are...

What about something like this? It might even hide behind the lamp if you're lucky. http://www.amazon.co.uk/WEATHERPROOF-CABLE-CONNECTOR-GARAGE-GARDEN/dp/B008D2L0GU Failing that can you pass the cable through the wall into the house right behind the fitting then use internal connectors?
