    Outside lighting cable choice

    What would you choose for outside lighting. I keep seeing professional installations with what looks to be standard flex clipped round the building. Shouldnt it at least be something like hi tuf with regard to weathering and uv damage-let alone to avoid risk of shock when working above ground...

    socket heights on a rewire

    Yes but not everybody is in a wheelchair and may not want their house with such low fittings-positive discrimination it seems to me or is it negative lol. I can unsderstand in council dwellings-but not private where the person paying will be known when starting the job.

    socket heights on a rewire

    4 foot high for light switches seems a bit low-why have they come up with that height-are they all short in brussels. LOL

    According to my niceic installation handbook 17th edition it is fine to terminate outside in a gas box if the pipe entering the property is inaccessable

    Can a domestic installer
