Hi all, Now i know this isnt ideal, but what is the best option. I need power to a poe switch in my mates loft. Max 150watts. There is no mains ring I can spur off, but there is a lighting circuit. I was going to put a 3amp fused spur to a single socket in the loft. I know it's not ideal...

I havent picked the lights yet but if need be I will get external junction boxes. I also want to hook up PIR sensors.

Cheers. Newbie question, Does my last security light then have to run cable back to the fused spur or can it terminate at the last light?

How would I achieve this please? Do I install a double pole isolator switch after the fused spur and then run to the lights after that?

Excellent info guys. Really appreciate that!

Thanks for that, though could you please explain what you mean by this part? 1380 watts is the total for 6amp - if bulbs are 10w.... but for lighting you could actually go over this by an extra 50% watts on top?? So 2070 total watts? 1380 + 50% = 2070watts Hope I'm not confusing you. Cheers

Thank you. I will have a tot up and do the maths but that's very helpful. Thanks

Hi all, This is my first post :-) I have a garage ajoining my house, single skin brick with a pillar support on the inside about half way down (on the side which is single skin to the outside). The pillar is not keyed into the brickwork it is just running next to the wall with mortar...
