Hi,

Following your advice to get a weatherproof socket, I have found this:

http://cpc.farnell.com/pro-elec/p909...r/dp/PL1081003

From the photo, it looks like an MK master seal but is a third of the
price. Is this too good to be true? Should I pay the extra and get the
MK?

They also sell:
http://cpc.farnell.com/pro-elec/p280...4/dp/PL1080603

is that any good? With Christmas around the corner I will be told to
hang LED "icicles" from the porch. Could I fit the transformer inside
one of these or do you think that overheating could be a problem?
Since the box is watertight it must be airtight too. Should I keep the
"wall wart" inside instead?

TIA

The same order code except that the cheaper option has 03 tagged on to
the end. This usually means there's a special offer on in one of the flyers.
