This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. I was given a set of 4 vehicle cameras and was trying to figure a good way to waterproof the soldered wires. Thank You!

@TheDIYGuy1 2 роки тому

Glad you found it useful!

@ssiva5212 Рік тому

Thank you very much. I feel more confident as a firts timer to connect cables, accidently cut through when pruning garden plants. Very helpful for a total novice to know which tools are required as well

Glad it helped

Hi IV got a outdoor sensor light just runs of a plug I'm looking to put a light in my shed and a double socket can I just take the light of and run the cable to the shed it will be only light use

@cardmancalvin549 Місяць тому

Good

@danielwalker1214 Рік тому

Do you have to use a specific cable as you are using outside? I need to run a cable extension from outside socket to some PIR stake lights. Maybe use a 3 way version of this box to branch off in 2 directions. Im enjoying your videos, Will you be making any videos on outside garden lighting to lighten up dark pathways.

@TheDIYGuy1 Рік тому

Yes I do have plans for further outdoor lighting. Thanks

@explosivefitnessuk 2 роки тому

Thanks mate. Great videos. I am removing my external PIR sensor light and replacing with a LED floodlight one. But i want it in a different position so need to extend the cable 3 meter. Would this be a good solution for that? If so is 1.5mm 3 core hi tuff cable ok or does it need to be armored? Thanks

@TheDIYGuy1 2 роки тому

Thanks. Yes you could use the 1.5mm 3 core hi tuff. The only time I would use armoured is if it is buried underground.

@explosivefitnessuk 2 роки тому

@@TheDIYGuy1 Thank you!

@ericdickson2248 Рік тому

Can you use liquid tight connects in the ends instead of what comes with it? Also can it be buried in the ground?

@TheDIYGuy1 Рік тому

Hi, I would avoid burying in the ground.
