We have created a new storage room at the rear of an integrated garage which is being done with a warrant (Scotland).
We need to fit a new light point & switch in the new room which is difficult from the existing home lighting circuit and will be very expensive.
There is a light in the garage but if the new light is run from there it would be switched by the existing switches which are too high to conform with current regs (900 - 1100mm high).
Is it possible to take a supply from a 13a circuit through a 3 or 5amp fused spur for the light and would this conform to current regs?
Or how difficult is it to lower the garage light switches in terms of extending/jointing cables, is that allowed? It would mean the new room light coming on with the garage light, that's OK.
I'd just like to know what is possible before we obtain some estimates.
Thanks.
