Im thinking of trying it. I can always return it I suppose. I'm worried that it wont even reach though

If its not possible to hook up that tree then I might do this. Not really what we was going for though. Really had our eye on this tree. Oh well. I guess its just not possible. Thanks all for your input

Well the girlfriend thinks it will look nice and so do I so was seeing if it was possible :) I'm not worried about the hassle or how long it will take to do. Just to know how to do it is enough.

Thanks for that valuable input. It actually doesn't look anything like that in the flesh but this is what comes up on their website. They have a picture of it outside so I imagine so. It will be going on a sheltered balcony anyway so out of the way of the winter weather.

Here's the plug... (The black one in the middle) Here's a close up of the info on the plug...

Ooh good thinking. I'll pop in to the shop tomorrow and take a picture of it and post up tomorrow

I had a sneaky look at the display model and it looks to be one of the big bulky plugs. Someone mentioned that it will probably have a transformer built in to the plug? Good idea however the tree that is going out on the (yes, small) balcony has built in lights so need to be able to plug it in...

So it's not possible to wire in or change the connection to enable me to plug the tree in? Because I am up on the second floor of an apartment block (will be very cold) and also near a dual carriageway (noisy). Being near a dual carriageway they are very tightly locked so either wont close with...

Ok I like the look of the weatherproof boxes. I definitely think that is the way to go and will get one big enough to house a big plug. I need to know (in real layman's terms) how I run a plug from the light wiring above to an extension socket that will be in the weatherproof box. What do I...

Thanks... The wiring I have to work with....   The lights I want to hook up. Sorry, no picture available of the actual wiring. normally I would opt for an outside socket but unfortunately it is not possible in this case It is a new build flat and no alterations like that are allowed so...

Hi all, This will probably be a simple one for any electrician out there so hopefully I'll get a nice easy yes or no response (and hopefully how to do it!) I have an outside light on a balcony that is connected to a light switch indoors. What I would like to do is use the cabling in the light...
