I have recently moved and want to put up a security pir light on my garage.
Before I have always just put a electrical wire on it and plugged it into a spare socket in my garage.Looking at the intructions in focus I see it says dont wire it into a plug and put it into the ring main socket.
Is this a new regulation as I have never had a problem before whats the worse that could happen?
Is there a limit on what size wattage bulb I can have if I just stick a plug on it please?
Oh theres a circuit breaker thing on the garage supply and on the house too which works as I found out when I took a socket off in the garage forgot to turn off the mains and it tripped when the wires touched give me a bit of a shock too
