I want to install an IP rated, double socket on an outside wall for some Christmas lights.
My plan:
I have a double socket, downstairs in a bay. I was going to cut a channel in the wall and take it around the corner (2.5mm T&E) and install a 13A (neon) SFCU (inside of) an outside wall. Probably this one.
Drill directly out the back of this SFCU and take some more 2.5mm T&E into the back of an outside socket. Probably this one.
(So there'll be no exposed T&E.)
I understand there's no need for an external socket with RCD protection as that'll be provided by the consumer unit.
