I want a motion sensor outdoor light to go by the front door, to help with finding the keyhole in the dark and provide a little more security / reassurance for my wife.
We have previously had solar ones which aren't great, and have broken. There appear to be a handful of rechargable options available but they also look poor quality.
I had an electrician coming round so asked them to take a look.
There's no existing wiring in particularly useful places, so the best way to do it without a tonne of redecorating inside is apparently to run the cable outside from my lounge, and then a long and up a stretch of external wall. This has to be protected, so that would be in galvanized conduit. I think I'd be ok with the sort of industrial look.
But then he said that means I need a light that's built to accept conduit from below (20mm opening), rather than rear entry with the cable going straight through the wall. Only problem is there don't seem to be any of the former available. Any ideas?
