Hi all,
I'd like to add a pir security light on the side of the house and wondering the best way to wire it. There is an electric feed that's going outside already from the conservatory to an outside junction box. This is being fed to the pond but it's now not being used and we have no intention of using it in the future.
My thoughts were to disconnect the old pond wiring, terminate in to a connection block and tape up. Then connect light wiring to the electricity feed in the junction box.
My other query is that the light I was going to get only has a 1.5m cable which means it's not long enough to reach a decent height. I could either get a different light with a longer cable or have another joint in a junction box closer to the light? Presumably the former is preferable so there's less joins?
Thanks in advance
Simon
