Wiring and Pointed rubblestone walls

[keycare]

What did you have to do with your porch light, did you have to re-pot it? or did it just require a new locknut and sleeving?

Wanted to add a PIR to it twas a few years ago now.

What the French do is hack out the (weak) mortar around the stones then jam in flexible plastic conduit (having run the individual wires through conduit first) then re- mortar. The conduit therefore runs all over the place, depending on size of stone/rubble - this may not be legal in the UK.

It wouldn't comply with the 16th, let alone the 17th, and would probably be actually illegal since 01/01/2005...

But in your lounge, you could use whatever you want.

No you can't.

Yes, but how did you reterminate, and seal the ends?

With the bit supplied to me by TLC, I can't quite remember the exact procedure, but I do remember using a junction box and a special gland which I mounted inside the porch.
