Morning all
I've just moved into a new house, and had a chance to poke around at how the outside lights are powered. Here's the set up:
1st light) 60w bulb in a metal lantern light, served by 0.75mm 3 core flex which runs thru the outside wall to indoors, into a FCU with a 3A fuse, and then into the mains with a 3A fuse in the plug.
2nd light) 60w bulb in a plastic PIR security light, again served by 0.75mm 3 core flex which runs indoors into the mains with a 3A fuse in the plug (but no FCU on this cable).
3rd light) 60w bulb in a metal porch light, again served by 0.75mm 3 core flex which joins, via a junction box, a lighting spur (i.e. 1.5mm wire that comes out the porch ceiling and is joined to the upstairs lighting circuit). There is a FCU on the 0.75mm cable portion with a 3A fuse.
For all three, the conduit work seems ok and in order.
Can you good folks please tell me if this setup seems ok, or shall I call in a sparky to made any mods?
Many thanks in advance.
