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.

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?

Trust me, he is that stupid.

Bull****.

However, not the point.

So your point is?

That Mason is an idiot and you seem to be supporting him.

The photos did not show any idiocy.

Bull****. Its stupid to have a choc block there. He should have
replaced the cord entirely so there is no join and if that isnt
practical, the choc block should be inside the metal case of
the light. Better to have a soldered joint and heatshrink tho,
then no chance of it coming loose over time.

It's quick to do and it works, I have no problem with it.

Because you are a terminal ****wit.

Its just as quick to replace the entire cord and not have a joiner.

Too much hassle to take the old cord out when it goes through a wall.

There is no old cord going thru the wall, it was a new cord for that
light.

Then why did he need to extend it?

It was much too short to get to where he needed it to go and had moulded
plug on it which even you would have noticed wouldn't have gone thru that
small hole in the mortar.
