For outside wiring, the wires must be in conduit if some sort (metal, rigid plastic or the normal corrugated plastic). |

Also don't forget that you'll need to use waterproof, external grade fittings to keep the rain out - otherwise the conduits could fill up with water and the lights could become "live". |

And of course don't forget that the indiviudal coloured wires are really expensive compared to the UK's twin and earth system. For instance I took out with us last year a 50metre reel of 1.5mm twin and earth cable. It was cheaper than a single 50metre reel of 1.5mm cable, be that live neutral or the earth in Spain.
So I am happier with the way our garden is wired, it has twin and earth which is sheathed itself running inside plastic conduit in our garden, extra protection over the Spanish system. |
