Hello all. Any one installed 'brick lights' before?
I am having a brick wall built tommorow and the missus has decided at the last minute that she wants brick lights incorporated into the wall. I have a few spare ways on RCD side at fuseboard so it will be on its own circuit. I need to run the cables as he lays the wall, which is only going to be one course deep. My questions are as follows:
1). 1.5mm T&E is more than capable of the load, but i'm not sure if it's suitable for this type of outside installtion? Is there a special weather resistent equivilent I should use? (bearing in mind there is no room for SWA or conduit)
2). The cables will be mechanically protected by the bricks but where exactly do I run the cables and how do I run the cable without damaging or crushing them?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
