External lighting and wiring requirements

Hello

I'm a competent DIY electrician within the home , COVID gave me time to study City & Guilds although my attention was focused on everything within the home.

I've recently replaced my decking and now looking at wiring in the lighting (ip65 240v up/down lights on the decking posts). An electrician hired by the previous owners had simply daisy chained 1.5mm flex/PVC to light fittings but initial searches suggested running SWA to a dedicated junction/wiska box to each fitting THEN running 1.5mm PVC to the light fitting itself.

Two questions if I may:

1) is SWA a requirement when 100% of the route will be above ground
2) what is the maximum permitted distance from the wiska box to the light fitting itself?

Thanks in advance
