1mm or 1.5mm Twin & Earth should be ok, can you spur off the socket with a Switched Fused Spur?

hi i can do but doesn't that then become notifiable work as it would be a fixed install?
 
If the socket is in the Garage already - no. Any reason you want these Bulk heads over an LED Batten?

no particular reason.
just want something bright enough for security.
 
These inside or Out ?

(If outside then Black exterior grade flew would be better)

outside walls whefe the rendering is white so would need white flex if possible.
 
Why do you need a junction box? Can you not daisy chain from one light to the next?

will proceed with d chain.

Is it acceptable to have five bulkhead lights on the same cable?

I linked the light fittings in my first post above.
 
You’ll be fine with 5 of those lights on the same cable. Fuse the circuit at no more than 6 amps.
You must not connect the lights directly to the socket.
Either just plug the lights in, or fit an FCU.
