Hello,

Long time lurker here, so thanks for all your advice in the past.

I'm due to install a ring floodlight on the rear of my property, which currently has no external power.

I plan on chasing an FCU in to the bedroom wall, fed off the upstairs ring final. This I plan on sticking a 5A fuse in to. I then plan on surface mounting rubber flex along the wall to the ring floodlight.

The problem is the floodlight only allows rear entry, the instructions mention using a 4inch round junction box to facilitate the cable run, then screwing the floodlight directly to this. However, I can't find anything suitable in width or IP rating.

Has anyone fitted one?

Any suggestions please?

Cheers
 
what i'd do in this situation is to chase a bit of mortar out at the bottom of the fitting so the cable can access rear entry.
 
nope. it's at the bottom water runs downhill. ask any plumber.
 
I stay away from rear entry, much prefer entry from the bottom. To the point I would return any rear entry only fitting. Most will have a few options.

Rear, top or side entry are to be avoided where possible.

Let physics work for you.
