For line voltage outdoor lighting I wanted to know the best methods to make it last using pipe. I'm thinking of the smaller lights and spot light that have the 1/2 pipe thread on the bottom.

I'm fine with RMC but it costs $$ now.

ENT is still cheap so it is my ideal raceway.

I seen many set ups for boxes but most seem to hold water and or mud.
Part of the problem is the customer does not want to see the box or much of the spot light base.

So I see all types of boxes mounted in or just above the ground.

How do you make it drain? Have an empty pipe strait in the ground? Drill a drain hole?

What do you use for splices? What are you useing to water proof the splices?
