Its actually because they are much more reliable when moulded.

I have just fitted 4 LED security lamps and needed to feed 2
core through a brick wall - I have 20 odd old wire up plugs
though so had plenty to hand.

I do it the other way, cut the moulded socket off an extension
lead, feed the cut end thru the hole in the wall and then wire
that into the light or whatever. Easier with some lights than
others.

These lights only come with about 1ft of three way, so you have to
drill a foot long hole in the exterior bricks and feed two core in
from inside, fit a plug and find the nearest indoor socket.

What are you moaning about now?


Moaning?
The electrical mess on the wall is only acceptable to a
pikey/cyclist or a skint person with a 30 year old kitchen.
Guess all of the above fits you.


The point of the socket he fitted is to provide power. It presumably
does this job perfectly. It's not a bloody ornament.
