Outside lighting and cable run around a lake

Giles D

Hi Folks, I am working on a fishery with a house on it that will be air B+B’d. The client wants outside lighting all around the property, front and rear. 3 of the circuits will be running around two lakes. There is a lot of trees, roots and obstacles, so the client does not want to dig trenches to run the cables underground. I am going to use either wise box’s or Shelly Pro 3’s to control all the circuits. The feeds to each control will be trenched, it is just the load runs that cannot be trenched. 
Could anyone help advise me on the running of cables around the lakes. I would like to run the cable in SWA, but as it is a commercial let property I am in a quandary over best practice and regs/ safety. Many thanks. Regards Giles

    Running cables around lakes and through areas with lots of tree roots can be tricky. I would recommend you be looking at SWA cable buried at the correct depth with warning tape or using ducting where future access or root movement is likely. Also consider voltage drop if the lighting runs are long. further more if you are using smart lighting or controllers, make sure any Wi-Fi devices still have reliable router coverage around the property, as large outdoor areas often create weak signal spots.
