Hi there. I'm going to relocate an outside light and install an additional one. I need to know what sort of cable to use. Lights are likely to be a 10w + 30w max so not that powerful. Do I need IP 65 and stick it in some UV resistant conduit?

I was thinking 1.5mm 2+earth like this: http://www.screwfix.com/p/prysmian-6242y-twin-earth-cable-1-5mm-x-50m-grey/51381
and this conduit: http://www.screwfix.com/p/tower-corrugated-conduit-black-20mm-x-10m/50443

Cheers buddy 
No protection against mechanical required. I was just going a bit over the top i think.
It's basically going to come out the side of my detached garage, and be mounted along the back of some fence panels (2.5 panels), split at a junction box and terminated at 2 lights, one either side of the fence where a gate is, to give light either side.

Second query. Would this junction box be fine, or a bit too much? Only need to split to 2 so I'm tempted to just run to the first light and run a cable from the light to the second (in series), but not sure if that's "best practice".
