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.

Oops, replied twice because I put the clocks back, messages in wrong
order, didn't think it had sent.


A Jap would at least have the decency to disembowel itself.

Don't make a mess of the carpet...
