bmj1 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) We've run some lighting cables from internally through the cavity to our bricks on the front of the house. (We've now closed up/plastered/painted). The lighting cables are loose, coming through the brickwork/mortar. I'd like to use these: https://www.downlightsdirect.co.uk/eyelid-led-marker-light.html Our electrician is advising this isn't feasible as there is no ability to make a connection (e.g. with junction boxes). Is there a solution that means we could use these? I love the elegance of these. E.g. some kind of way of doing the connection without use of a big junction box, etc ? Something like this perhaps ? Set out like this: And then combined with heat shrink tubing ? So the end result would be this, which could then fit in the holes in the brickwork ?

Mattg4321 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Those lights are 12 volts, they will need a power supply/driver fitting somewhere. If I'm understanding correctly, you probably need to listen to your sparks. Aside from the above problem, it's pretty poor practice to shove joints into the cavity, protected only by a layer of heat shrink. Hopefully you can find something else you like the look of.
