Just done one!
A security LED outside flood light came with 10" of 3 core 0.75mm cable.
Not wanting to have a joint box outside, and not wanting to mess about with the internal wiring on the PCB, I jointed 1.5mm cable on with soldered and heat shrink joints, with an overall heat shrink cover.
Bent the cable so that the 2 ends of the heat shrink are at the bottom and secured the lot to the mounting bracket behind the lamp with ties.
Waterproof, weatherproof, out of reach, secured, double insulated, a good job?
