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 if it's more than a little bit of leakage
(maybe
from
something like bird droppings)?

The most that might do is trip the RCD.

RCDs are for pussies, I have fuses.

It might blow a fuse if you are unlucky enough to
get some bird **** that is very sloppy right on the
areas where there is some metal down in the block.

Unlikely tho.

Which is why I prefer fuses. Less likely to trip.

It wouldn't trip due to bird **** regardless of which
is
used.

And very unlikely to end up with bird **** on it where
it
is
either.

If the bird**** conducted to some rain on the wall and
to
the
ground,
an
ELCB might trip.

Nope, because the metal bits on the choc block wouldn't
be
in
contact
with
the bird ****.

You wrote "unlucky enough to
get some bird **** that is very sloppy right on the
areas where there is some metal down in the block"

If it is, it wont bridge between the choc block and the
wall.

Depends what the bird has eaten.

Nope, not when its very sloppy **** it doesn't.

More sloppy is more likely to travel further.

Not not BRIDGE between the block and the wall, stupid.

Sloppy spreads out more,

Yep.

so more likely to bridge.

Nope, more likely to fall down the gap and not bridge, stupid.

No,

Yep.

that's runny.

Same thing.

You have remedial work to do on your adjectives.

Nope, they mean the same thing as far as bridging is concerned.

Different consistency.

Not enough to matter where bridging is concerned.

The difference between falling off and sticking is very important.

Both don't bridge and fall.


The adjectives are all subjective.


Irrelevant to whether neither bird **** will bridge.


They produce a wide range of consistencies. There will be a certain percentage water which does.

Little Sally came home from school with a smile on her face, and told her mother, "Frankie Brown showed me his penis today at the playground!" Before the mother could raise a concern, "Sally went on to say, "It reminded me of a peanut." Relaxing with a hidden smile, Sally's mum asked, "Really small, was it?" Sally replied, "No, salty." Mum fainted.
