Routine outdoor lighting inspection?

I don`t know how many of you do this, but when you build home made HID fittings, (as mine are), I always do a check on them each year.
Checking my garden SON this afternoon, I find the wires to the lamp holder in the corner one, (with a Philips Master plus in), have gone a little hard with the heat, even though it has all steam iron wire in it to withstand the heat, its still a confined space, with a hot running lamp in.
No cracks in said wire have appeared yet though, and as long as its not `moved about` it will be ok for now.
The one on the side fence, (with a GE Lucalox in), is all fine, due to a different set up internally.
