Hello all,
what I want to do if have a waterproof socket outside the back door, for a temporary supply to the garage, and for general garden implements.
I was thinking of the MK Masterseal RCD protected twin gang (Toolstation 18191) for the exterior on a spur from a socket inside, which is already a spur (so I would end up with 4 sockets on the spur).
What I would also like to do is have a neon switch inside the house, so I can isolate/turn off the exterior socket as required. The only switches I can see are 20A neons (toolstation 64900). Would these be OK to use on a spur to a twin gang socket - as they would add up to 26A max load, more than the rating of the switch. Which sounds wrong.
Should I be doing this a different way?
TIA for any advice.
James
