I recently put an outbuilding (hard to describe but essentially a metal shed) about 3m from our house, however it's at the opposite side from the consumer unit and I'd like to hook it up for some basic power and lighting.
As the normal load would be pretty low (less than 100W), I was wondering whether some armoured cable with an RCD protected plug indoors would be sufficient as opposed to creating a spur or extending the ring main.
At the shed end, although occasional power tool use would he handy, the essentials would only be a light fitting or two running low energy bulbs and two or threesockets for low power appliances. If my RCD plug idea is feasible, would a fused spur switch suffice for the lighting?
Any advice would be appreciated.
