I want to put some outside lighting along this fence in our little car park.
It's 11m long and I am thinking of some basic outdoor bulkhead lights, probably 3.
At the far end it joins an old wall and about 5m along that is an outdoor socket. My plan is to take a spur off that using an ip55 box then run standard lighting cable through 20mm plastic conduit among the back of the fence. Another small waterproof box each light, probably use those wago connectors.
I dabble in a bit of home wiring so for me it's not a tiny project, any advice or pitfalls to avoid?
I was wondering how to get the cable to the lights through the fence and keep it watertight.
Also getting the cable through a long conduit run, what's the easiest approach?
And, would you recommend a fused spur switch where I take it off the outside socket? That's on a dedicated circuit so I can turn it off without losing house sockets.
Thanks.
