Two simple questions:
1) I need to install an outside lamp. I believe I need to connect a 2.5mm cable from the double plug socket to the FCU. I then need to change the fuse from 13A, but I'm not sure weather to go for a 3A or 5A since I don't know if my circuit or ring or radial? Is it then safe to check my connection at this stage which will show a red light on the FCU when switched on?
I need to do a bit of plastering and put a new skirting board before proceeding to the second stage, which will be to connect a cable from the FCU to the outside light. Does it matter if that cable is 1mm or 1.5mm?
2) I want to move a lighting switch to the other side of the door. I very difficult to know if the cable from the mains is 1mm or 1.5mm (with my glasses on and a ruler). Which size should I use from the existing switch to new one on the other side of the door, 1mm or 1.5mm, or doesn't it matter? Just want to make sure.
Many thanks!
