    Hi,

    Not sure if in the right spot so can the mods move into electrical if need to go in there.

    Have been looking to put some lights in the garden but the oh is only after coping onto the fact that if she wants electrical lights i will have to drill into thehouse and she is not happy.

    Can anyone think of another way of doing this before I bury her in the garden beside the light?

    Thanks

    Do you have a shed that has electricity? If not then bringing it from the house is the only option.

    Can I suggest some nice solar powered lights? The charge really does last a fair while.

    Solar powered lights are a really good idea, they give a really nice glow

    I agree with Tiffy - Solar power is the way to go. I've had mine for a few years now and they give a great glow.

    It depends on the house but I used a length of 2" white drain pipe which I attached to the wall with 3 bracket running from under the eve down into the footpath and then out into a duct distribution manhole. The wires were ran across from the MCB board inside the roof and then down the drain pipe into a waterproof junction box in the manhole. I located the 2" pipe in parallel to a 4" toilet vent so the wire duct doesn't look out of place.
