Lets fix the lights

So here is the unlikely startting point for adding the lights to the wall - here you see the cable we laid behind the wall coming through the concrete reinforced breeze block waiting for the light to be fitted here i will explain waht you need to do to fit the lights - in all I fitted 9 lights around the wall , these will be controlled by a sensor which will switch them on when it gets dark but is clever enough to switch them off between midnight and a couple of hours before dawn- this is done by a clever light sensor _ i will explain mor about this when we conect up the lights to the supply .

here is the somewhat large fixing block (around 80mm deeep) with two holse predrilled.
using a wooden template I bored teo 8mm diameter holes and inserted the green rawplugs and then screwing the wooden block to the wall - if necesssary this was done several times so that the light fitting ended flush with the wall - not as easy as it looks
the light itself consists of a plastic outer a metal back and a glass front there is of course a light and a reflector but these are fitted after the light is wired

The lights were made by Phillips and are called "Massive" dont ask me why you will see the three pieces that are in the box seperated ready for fitting.





The first Job is tofix the plastic box to the wooden block so that the edge of the plastic box is in line with the brickwork - later on we will fill in the small gap betwen the plastic box and the wall






Here you see we have filled the gaps we had with Mortar ready to screw on the back and finally fit the front

So here is the light finally fitted waiting fro the final wiring of the light to be done by the electrician. once it has been wired in the reflector plate will hide the wires and we fit the low energy bulb.

Lastly we will then fit the sensor device and conect all the lights to the mains supply
