Thanks for your electrical wiring question Gary.
How to Install Wiring for Outdoor Lighting
The method used to install wiring will depend on the location and the type of outside lights and how many will actually be installed. Depending on this information, a separate dedicated circuit may not be necessary or required. Outside lights may be controlled by motion detectors and photo cells, switched from one or more locations, or may be controlled by a simple home automation system.
