Is the circuit in the house CU RCD protected? If so, and the garage is in effect just another room, then you don't need another CU in there, any more than you need a CU in any other room in your house.
Use 2.5mm to run a new ring main into the garage. At a convenient point on that ring use a switched FCU to run a spur off for the light.

Use something like this:

I'd use 6mm to feed it.
