Hi All
I'm helping set up a shop which is the downstairs of a terraced house (residential flat above), and the sparky installed an LED floodlight over the back door with an almost useless PIR. That spur already has an outdoor junction box by the floodlight. There's a need for some lighting in the old outside loo out back which is around 5m from the back door. What I'd like to do is to:

I'm helping set up a shop which is the downstairs of a terraced house (residential flat above), and the sparky installed an LED floodlight over the back door with an almost useless PIR. That spur already has an outdoor junction box by the floodlight. There's a need for some lighting in the old outside loo out back which is around 5m from the back door. What I'd like to do is to:
- Take the cable from the floodlight and run it back inside into a light switch with an LED (so it's obvious if the light out back is on or off when locking up), then take the switched cable back to the floodlight junction box. Something like this: http://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-1-gang-45a-dp-cooker-switch-with-neon-white/49779
- Bypass the PIR (or swap for a brighter LED floodlight without a PIR) as it'll be on a switch.
- Add an IP-rated 12V step-down in parallel with the floodlight, and then take a 1.5mm twin cable over to the old loo and install some 12V LEDs (e.g. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Generic-5050-60D-IP44-Strip-Waterproof-Flexible/dp/B00QX6HKGC/).http://www.scldirect.co.uk/24-watt-12-volt-ip65-constant-voltage-led-driver.html
