Hey All, I'm planing to install a Garden Light that is screwed to the ground. I just need some advice or your experience  1) Are the wires buried in the ground or what is the best way to do it? 2) How much did your wiring cost? I know this will be different for each person as the length of the garden will play a role in the costing. 3) Where did you buy the garden light? Thanks.

The wire can be buried on the ground or run along wall if is near to any wall. This kind of outdoor cable is what is called as armoured cable. Is quite expensive. As for the garden light you can simply go to any lightning shop to buy.

Yups.. You gonna use the same cable as the autogate use...armored cable because it needs to withstand outdoor weather. Armored cable is pretty expensive.

Also, for the garden light to be more stable it is recommended to make a small cement base for it to stand on.
