Outdoor lights and socket

    Looking to get some led outdoor lights installed.

    Idea is to replace a single outdoor light at the back door, with 7 led lights around the perimeter of the house (on the walls).

    I also want to get an outdoor socket for garden usage.

    I will provide the lights themselves.

    Can anyone provide a rough ballpark cost for this kind of job?

    Impossible to tell. Way too many variables.
    Lights need a different sized cable to sockets.
    Lights need different types of protection at fuse board then sockets.
    You’ll need a new supply for the socket.
    You’ll need to ensure when you remove the existing light that the circuit it’s fed from is capable of supporting an additional 6 lights.
    Sorry not much help on the costing but this is more then a DIY job (I know your looking for a quote) so I’d advise having a REC come and survey the job and quote for it.
