[QUOTE="DIY GUY, post: 517256, member: 29427"] Not sure of the space underneath yet. I’ll only be running about 4 cables. 1 from a switch beside my consumer unit that’s in cupboard downstairs to light at the front of house downstairs Running 1 from front to side of house downstairs. Running 1 from side to back of house downstairs. Running 1 from back to back of house downstairs. (All daisy chained from the light at front) Ill be feeding 4 of them out of wall around 2m high for lights. Would this involve cutting a lot of holes in the walls to then drill through wooden beams to feed cables through to then patch up. Or from the attic can I fish down any wall without the need for drilling through wood behind wall Or from under flooring downstairs can I fish up any wall without having to drill through wood behind wall Or is it a case of where I’m trying to fish down or up and come across wooden studs behind walls I’ll need to cut out a check above and below it to drill through it? Thanks Lights will be on the exterior of my walls. [/QUOTE]
