Thought that it was time to replace the outdoor security light on the garage as it's a bit perilous trying to make it to the garage in the dark to pull a beer.
I got a new one from Screwfix yesterday and noticed that it was saying that I should loop the wire coming from the light below the home drilled into the garage wall. I'm not an electrician, so the only reason I can think of doing this is to minimise any water running down wire towards hole in garage wall (even though I have siliconed it up to prevent this).
Could anyone tell me why I need to install the light as shown in the diagram.
