[QUOTE="R1K, post: 502547, member: 33203"] Hi all I wanted to setup a lantern type light with PIR (40-60w) beside my front door into an open porch and I'm just wondering what is the best / safest way to provide power to it. On the interior side of the wall is my front hallway and there is an extension socket running from a double power socket which is further into the hallway. Could I just drill a hole directly through the wall to exterior, running a cable (cable would be partially hidden from elements within archway of open porch) put a plug socket on the end and plug into the extension ? What type of wire should I be using ? I have this thin grey two core I believe it's called with live (red) neutral (blue) and earth in it. Do I have to use any kind of conduit on the outside ? Your thoughts please... Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
