Next is to fit a hanging lantern in the porch - an open-fronted
Victorian pitched roof affair. Is there any similar sort of device to
the Klik socket, which is weatherproof? Otherwise I'll be using choc-
block in a sealed junction box, and that means the pain of making
overhead choc-block connections at height.

I've used the Click CT100 connectors inside the workshop for a similar
task, but they're not weatherproof and nor will they fit through a
cable gland entry into a sealed box.

Klik themselves make an IP66 rated box and lid, but I've yet to find a
stockist who will sell singles.

Any thoughts on a simple connector for an outside light? Thanks

They're not designed for ceiling hanging, so have no weight rating, but
the plug screws to the socket, so that's not going to be a problem; the
problem will be the strength of the cord grip in the plug. I would think
that 5kg is a reasonable rating.
