Hi grateful for a bit of advice before I get the BCO officer involved with this and possibly get told off!
I am currently in the process of building a couple of garden walls that will house a brick light in each pier. My plan, to make future maintenance easier was to run SWA from the power source (photocell/FCU) to small Wiska junction boxes, then run the cable from the brick lights through some flexi conduit into the junction boxes. The plan was to make everything accessible in case of future probs.
After searching high and low, I finally located some nice IP68 brick lights, but to my disappointment they only came with 600mm of pre wired cable! Much too short for the distance from the light to the junction box.
My question is, is there a way of extending this cable whilst still managing to keep it in the flexi conduit? I was thinking along the lines of crimping but am aware that this will have virtually no ip rating? What would anyone else suggest? Cheers
