Hi all,
I wish to install low voltage deck lighting. I have an outside double MK weatherproof socket, the type which closes over the plug. The plug-in transformer is too big to go straight into the socket, so I would need to make an extension cable connection to the socket, then inside to a small shed where the transformer will go into the female end of the extension cable via RCD, and then back out out to tyhe lights. My question is how can I weatherproof a short run - say 2ft - of the cable from the socket end to the shed. Armoured would be too large, and too much hassle to make the connection. Is their a smaller weatherproof mains cable which I could use maybe arctic ? Or should I use some sort of conduit and glands.
Could someone please let me know their thoughts and explain.
