A fairly good way to do that is straight through the wall to an outdoor socket, then plug the light in. You can have a radio controlled socket. Means you can have party lights too. A lot depends on the location of the socket an exterior access though.

That’s a point, there’s a spur for the extraction fan, which you could run another spur off.

@Nef here’s the situation.
The switch by the world smallest door controls the kitchen lights (2 pendants) and used to turn on an outside light but has since been rendered useless due to no neutral being available.
Sparky says the only way is to get a neutral from that light.
There is a 50mm void above the gyproc and battens but presumably the cables run through a channel up there.
The main issue is that wall is packed with Celotex type insulation so getting anything down there would be a massive faff.
I’m fine with the faffing if it’s possible. But I can’t go chasing into walls as we’ve just finished the kitchen and I’ll get into the troubles.
