My shed is wired for electricity. Mains comes in via a 40A consumer board with 6A and 16A MCB's. I use the 6A for lighting and the 16A for sockets. (I keep a wall chart of all possible power usage and never exceed 10 amps in total). I currently have a fluorescent light (72 watts) hard wired (i.e. no switches) to the 6A MCB. I want to add a switch to this and another switch to run an external PIR (500 watts) both supplied from the 6A MCB. Can someone please supply a diagram as I am currently baffled as to how to do it? Thanks.

Look at the section marked "FAQ - look here first"
Go to second page and there you will find a diagram from Breezer. It describes adding a loft light but its exactly the same for what you want to do. You will need two switches, one for each light.

Its quite valid to put choc block as connections in a light switch.

I think He has found a hybrid here between joint box and choc block (electrical connection strip)! You would be right in using connection strip for the neutral and CPC
