Nice to see a job being carried out correctly with some forward thinking where our glorious future wet weather is concerned. And love your use of the UG pipe to form a chamber around the lights, should help stop them rusting out so quickly too. Great video guys... here's to some less windy and warmer weather to come. 👍
Nice job. IP66 i believe those wiska combi boxes are. You've got to use gel if you're burying them, it's just a matter of time before water gets in if you don't. Even when they're just laid on the ground, they still tend to get moisture inside, so I'd gel them then too. Do you put any pea gravel behind the ground lights to help with drainage, or just straight in?
That was the way I was taught to put them in too. Though I have run full underground ducting before to be able to just pull legs through as home runs, isn't as important to use armoured cable when doing that as the duct work becomes the protective containment. Depends on what's allowed for/ budgets etc. Crap weather for it though.
Can't wait to see the finished product. Perhaps with less wind and rain.
Love your videos, you should do one every day

Yes mate the waste pipe sleeves will be full of pea gravel and it’s gravel underneath 👍
