Exterior Security Lights Query
Discussion
I do have a photo but it's a small world so I'll try describing for now.
The tree is on my side of the fence, very close to it. The armoured cable comes up his side of the fence, over the top and is then p-clipped to the tree up to an exterior grade junction box (!) alto nailed or screwed to the tree and then on to the light itself, also affixed to the tree about 20 feet up.

I am no electrician but could you take a spur off his cable on your tree to power most of the electricity for your house.I am sure you would be happy with this arrangement free electricity and he may take the security light down when his bill doubles.
As your neighbour seams a bit of a sap and barking up the wrong tree I would leaf the cable alone or if you are not happy call special branch.
I must admit a power supply in that part of the garden would be handy. As your neighbour seams a bit of a sap and barking up the wrong tree I would leaf the cable alone or if you are not happy call special branch.
Wouldn't I blow myself up if the power wasn't off though?
There isn't anything in the way of the light as he has taken everything off the tree on his side.
I'm going to lever the whole lot off the tree and just let it fall on his side. I'll probably drop him an email and give him the opportunity to take it off before I do. We aren't exactly big mates due to previous tree-related issues so a face-to-face would probably not end on a positive note.
I also hate threads with no ending too so I will update. I'm sure the suspense will be hard to bear.

Email sent giving reasonable time to remove. Not expecting much TBH.
I have been thinking this over and much as I'd like to make a noose out of the cable and hang him from the tree, illuminated by his own light, I'm afraid life isn't really like that.
I'm going to let him keep his poxy cablr and poxy light and let him light up his poxy driveway. (I can't even see it).
One day he'll need cooperation from me about something and I'll just point at the light and say he had his chance.

If you read the thread you'll know.
Yes I had read it before answering so I know you sent him an email. Just seeing if you got a response from him that was all?So, as I said earlier, its not the biggest issue in the world and time will come when he needs cooperation from me.

Does anyone know if it is ok (either legally or on safety grounds) to run armoured cable up a tree and fix a security floodlight to the tree.
A neighbour has seen fit to do this to a tree on my side of the fence!

He wants to "discuss" it as it was put there before he moved in.
