Hi,
Currently i have a wire which is plugged into an upstairs plug socket which goes through the exterior wall and is connected to a security light (which no longer works).
I am proposing to do the following -
1) remove the old security light and dispose
2) lead the wire from the internal plug into a junction box on the external wall (outside) (http://www.diy.com/nav/fix/electrical/switches-sockets/outdoor-switches-sockets/junction_boxes/-specificproducttype-weatherproof_ip66/HEC-Weatherproof-Junction-Box-IP66-123mm-9412332)
3) connecting the live wire to this connection strip (http://www.oceanlighting.co.uk/light-switches-c246/accessories-c248/lga-selectric-lga-selectric-1003-30-amp-clear-connector-strip-pack-of-10-p7487?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=lga-selectric-lga-selectric-1003-30-amp-clear-connector-strip-pack-of&utm_campaign=product+listing+ads#7488)
4) leading off the connection strip 2 wires (type defined by the security light instructions - 1mm 3 core external wire) each to a single security light attached to the external wall.
I have the following questions -
1) Does this sound sensible?
2) what amp should i have in the plug which is connected to plug socket indoors
3) have i missed anything?
Im fine with connections, drilling etc... i guess i just want advice as to whether i have not though of everything or if this sounds mental!
Thanks
