I'd like to add an exterior switch operated (perhaps PIR in the future) light. I only have a socket nearby which is likely to be accessible. The light switches and ceiling pendants are further away and less accessible.
This socket is on a ring. Can I add a 3AMP FCU to this existing socket and then wire a light into this?
Assuming yes, I have a few specific questions please:
- Do I take a 1mm or 2.5mm cable from the existing socket into the new FCU?
- Should the FCU situated next to the socket and at that level or next to the light switch?
- I was planning to take the live from FCU to the light switch and then a single cable outside to the light fitting. Is this recommended?
Thanks in advance.
