Run a small duct and use High Tuff. How are you switching these on / controlling them with the same light switch as the existing light your feeding off or do you want to do this separately? Is there a Neutral at the exterior light(s) or just a switched live and return

Ok, so they all come on and have power so what maybe required is adjustments to the light sensitivity and time the lights stay on. sometimes this is a bit hit and miss. If you switch them on now as it's dark can you see if they light up individually?

They should switch on individually. You can get some PIR lights with a test switch to utilise when you want it on permanently when working near them so it maybe best to run three core & earth if this is something you'd like?

I always drill a 5mm pilot hole first to prevent blow outs

I use a Megger one at work, it's magnetic so quite good to use in my line of work. This link might help

That's very true, also worth noting the question was about Wiring.

From a maintenance point of view that boards is horrendous with live bus bars and earth cables exposed. I wouldn't go poking around too much! At least there's an isolator to turn the power off to replace it with something more suitable.

The Electrician that came out, did he say why he couldn't get it working? Is there just one cable feeding the outside light? (BTW Three core and earth is generally used for two way switching} Flameports Site

edit just realised they're both feeds to lights

It might boil!

TTC's right the fuse has been removed so not as bad as I first thought, needs attention just in case someone decides to poke around though.

Post a photo of you Cut out/supply. Sounds like it's a TT and that Earth Rod will need testing if that's the case.

Hager or Schneider for me

That is a Highways DNO cut out and requires urgent rectification and a cover put back on and fixed with a tool, it's very dangerous like that and someone could get electrocuted if they touch that! Especially a child or even and animal

What power rating is the Ceramic Hob?

A photo might help of where the connections are broken/ Yes a multimeter will help for sure. How is the light fed?

Why not run the cable/conduit to an outside joint box butting up to the light then chase out a small piece of cement/mortar so the cable can run that way? Repointing if necessary
