Already had some advice from my friendly neighbourhood sparky Adam
about this, but wanted some more ideas.

Need to put some low voltage (12v) lights in a deck. 10 lights, each
with 3 LED's.

Lights and manifold/junction are IP66, wall wart needs to be inside
though.

Easiest wiring option is a disused security light. Only other option
would be a right mission.

So, I'm thinking. I could run the cable from the unused light into
an IP66 box like

wall wart.

Only question - do you think the wall wart might overheat?

As long as it under 12W, a wall-wart-in-a-box :

I'm confused. How would that help? It doesn't have an IP rating.
