Bistable relays are nice but not really suitable for this job. A conventional relay would work.
All I want, is for the light on the garage to switch on along with other outdoor lighting. There's no easy route for switched mains from the other outdoor lighting to the garage. Until now I've relied on a sensor light on the garage but since that failed I've re-thought what I'm trying to achieve. I've got spare cores in the alarm cable that goes from house to garage and some 12V outdoor lighting. Connecting the 12V from the outdoor lighting to a spare pair of cores in the alarm cable looks easy enough. Just needs a relay by the garage light.
Why not use a 12V light at the garage? The voltage drop along the alarm wiring would be excessive.
