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

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.

So you now have an exposed chocky block outside in the wet and a metal
light with no earth?

You are a special kind of stupid.

He is a cyclist. They really are a very special kind of stupid.

Or not a wimp like you two, scared of a bit of electricity. All that will happen in the rain is a bit of electric will leak from live to neutral and cost him pennies. What do you think he's going to do, reach up and grab the block in the rain?
