I know it's probably tiring to read such posts over and over but I thought best to run some parts of the design here for advice.
I'm having a patio done pretty soon and need to place some walk over lights on the flags.
There is an external IP socket from power can be taken to a control box and from there with SWA to the lights.
The electricians are not available before the flags go down so I need to fit the SWA/junctions on my own.
They will come to check the work/photos and connect. I am also going to ask the MCB replaced with an RCBO to avoid potential tripping on the entire CU in the future (already protected by RCD).
The main part of the design is to use 1.5mm 3 core SWA and resin junction boxes to provide power for each light through the holes on top.

what other cable than SWA can I use to branch to the top to the lights?
The lights:

or

I am also considering to add two brick lights facing the laws at the edge of the patio. Although the whole concept may be a little ambitious.
Any thoughts most welcome!
