I'll be getting the garden ripped up and a new gravel driveway installed. I have a 1.5mmsq T&E terminated on the wall in a JB (this runs back to CU - was meant to be a 2.5mm but sparks is long gone).
Want to future proof for lights and gates when I get round to it. Plan is a duct from the under the driveway to a JB on the wall, and from here a duct to #1 pillar and from there another duct to pillar#2.

Ideally in the future will have pillar lights, some spike lights and a sliding gate/possible intercom.

So plan is a 1.5mm 3 core SWA from JB through duct to the other JB. Also a shielded external grade Cat6. That all sound correct or missing a trick?

Also for the duct, the red ESB is tough to bend I'm told and people use 40mm/50mm twin walled conduit instead?l like this.. https://www.plastics-express.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=2780 but can't see any Irish suppliers.
@mods - can this be moved to Electrical? posted in wrong forum :(
