Thanks guys - not the 'sure, it's easy' answer I was hoping for, but that's as comprehensive as I could have asked for! It's a shame, I was hoping to do it on the cheap - I had a guy round last year who quoted me £220 including parts. Thanks again, it's much appreciated.

Hello, Please forgive my ignorance and almost certainly stupid questions, but I need some help. A couple of years ago, I had a security light fitted in my back garden. It is controlled by a switch near my back door that was put in next to a socket - which as I understand it, the power is...
