I did my electrical apprenticeship some years ago and wanted to check on some work for my nephew is the current "method"
Essentially he has some outside lights, three in all, on the back and side of his house. He wants to replace them with new lights and also the cable...which is a bit sad looking. I can do this for him, obviously, and I was going to take a feed out of his current MCB box off one of the existing lighting circuits...no spares I don't think...., which is on the inside of the wall where the first light is so easy peasy....I will then install an RCD (does it need one ?).probably an RCD FCU ..there isn't one at the moment...in the cupboard and take a 0.75 3183 TRS black flex...for outside/general use....through the wall to the first light and extend this cable around the outside for the other 2 lights.
Essentially I am replacing like for like in terms of installation. I know its a simple job but does it look OK?
