[QUOTE="JiSingh1, post: 519412, member: 34099"] Hi guys, my whole post got deleted so time to write again. I am used to wiring indoor lights but need some help for outdoor. We are putting in 4 LED Wall lights and i am wondering what cable to use for it? Is it SWA, SY, Outdoor Rubber Flex, or something else? Can i just use basic 1.5MM T&E that i have laying around from indoor projects, and as it is weaker than outdoor cable, could i use it and bury it in outdoor conduit? The lights are rated at approx. 5W according to the Amazon listing, and also they use mains power. Therefore have inputs for Live, Earth, Neutral. It is within touchable distance as will only be around 1M off the ground, it is to light up the front of the house so I am guessing there is guidelines/regulations about what is used and how? So basically which cable is best to use, and I was planning to just take power from the closest indoor socket and terminate with a standard 13A plug on the end so i can just turn it off and on all at once. Thank you Ji [URL="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07T63NTJS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1"]https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07T63NTJS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1[/URL] [/QUOTE]
