I've struggled to find any decent info on the Web for this, so hoping
people
can offer their thoughts.

If was considering installing some 230V lights into the edging of a patio
(e.g. http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/TLW50GU.html
) whats the correct
way to cable them ?

All the regs seem to say it has to be SWA - but daisy chaining a number of
those fittings with properly terminated  SWA sounds like a nightmare.

Would "hi-tuf" (

 or
similar be sufficient ?

The intention would be to run SWA from the main CU to a weatherproof box in
a discrete corner with RCD+LD11/AD10 inside - then run cables from there to
the lighting.
