I'd use a outdoor junction box to connect that light up I'd avoid LAP as you'll be returning it within 6 months.

......and that proves you don't know what you're on about.Hi,
the wires arent switched neutrals. I purely need advice on cable size and connecting the 0.75 to internal wire.
thanks,
Hey guys,
looking for a bit of advise on the installation of an outside light.
I plan on chasing out the plasterboard and running a cable from a spare light switch in the kitchen through to the exterior (approx. 4.5m away).
The light I have seen is: LAP Weyburn Outdoor LED Floodlight Black 50W 5000lm - Screwfix - https://www.NoLinkingToThis/p/lap-weyburn-outdoor-led-floodlight-black-50w-5000lm/671pg
I currently have some 2.5mm grey twin and earth. The light itself is .75mm cable. Do I need to get some 1.5mm or .75 cable instead? It looks like all the existing circuits are 1.5mm. The circut is protected on a 6a mcb.
Secondly, what is the best way to connect, can i use Wago connectors / terminal block and push in to the cavity, or is it best to use an interior junction box in the wall and connect the flex from the light internally?
thanks,
0.75mm (flex) isn't recognised by BS7671
(and flex wire is frowned upon for fixed installation),
