Garden Lights

[electrics_new]

going to put 16 lights in a garden for a customer. Does anyone know of some decent IP rated boxes I can use for the SWA glands and the light connection itself.

I'm looking for something simple to use but effective for the job. 16 adaptable boxes with SWA glands - I want something to make my life easier.

thanks

I've used those gel filled "resin" type joints before,,,, just so you're aware.. they're frickin messy and don't attempt to open them a second time as the innards will look like an elephants snotty hanky

You didn't say if you require them buried or above surface, (what level or IP) ?

A mate has just used these above ground. Armoured in/out either side and light fed from the middle gland:

He used Wagos inside I think. My only involvement was to give him a black M20 blank for the last one!  :lol:

I've also used galv conduit boxes filled with gel in pillar lights

I was going to mention those BUT I read the OP as he was burying the boxes

Did I ever mention that I am the first person IN THE ENTIRE WORLD TO PURCHASE THOSE BOXES?

Just reminding all the runners up!
