I've put in a 13a Fcu before the sockets now so I'm fixed re the inside work. I have seen the lights in the shop with the override function through switching. However, wouldn't it be simpler just to wire it up so a switched live gives a direct feed to the light? This is what I'm not sure...

Ok next question - how do I wire from DP SFCU to the light in a way which gives this functionality Switch on = light on, PIR override. Switch off = PIR on, default light off. Remember I have t+e running to the switch and 3core + e on to the light outside. Many thanks Dan

Thanks for the reply. All sorted on the inside now. I'm planning on drilling straight out through the wall from the switch location which will mean I have to run up the exterior wall and across to the light position. Is ordinary black sheathed twin an earth ok for this? Also I...

one of these? http://www.screwfix.com/p/mk-13a-dp-switched-fused-connection-unit-with-flex-outlet-white/13479 so, FCU - - - - Normal double socket - - - - DP fused switch - - - - exterior light

So I have the below setup -------FCU 13a------double socket------light switch ------outside light Correct?

Right I'm clear now thanks for the help. Do I go buy an FCU cut into the cable supplying the socket and wire in the FCU. Then replace the socket and carry on to a switch for an exterior light?

This spur is just for 1 wall mounted PIR external light with a switch on the internal wall. no buried cables needed. I'm pretty sure the existing socket is alone on its spur - its only 2m from the CU and no other plugs are in that gap. Considering the above and comments from before, i...

So I need a fcu before the existing plug socket? Why isn't there one already?

It's the first plug as you enter the kitchen but exists on its own. All the other plugs in there follow each other anti clock wise around the room. If it is a spur can I still run off it to a fcu then to a outside light?

I have taken the donor socket apart and found a single cable of earth neutral and live. Now I know obviously that this is a final socket but how do I know if it's a spur or not?

anyone?

The socket can be knocked out from the CU, does that mean the spur off will automatically fall under the same protection?

After some advice on wiring in an outside light. I intend to utilise an existing 2 gang plug socket. from this i will run some 2.5mm 3 core to a switched FCU and then on to the exterior light. is this ok to do?

Just read this. So I'm being an idiot! I can go but a 15mm drill bit and use it with a 13mm chuck

Can I buy 15mm bits with a reduced shank? Why do all drills stop at 13mm!!!

the one your picked out looks spot BUT only accepts 13mm bits :( Dan

[/url] thanks for the reply and example. is it better to have 1 li-ion battery or 2 ni-cad? will the chuck on this drill accept the 22mm bit? sorry for my newbie questions - just some drills only accept 13mm tops dont they?

my point is i want to be able to drill out a 22mm hole in masonry and use the drill for DIY around the house. dont want to buy a drill just to be able to drill out the 22mm hole and have to buy another for other jobs.

have you got a link. an all rounder is definitely what i need, just thought that the drill bit i need to drill the outside wall would not fit in an all rounder. i need to be able to use a 22mm drill bit - for the 15mm copper pipe and waste pipe sheathing.
