I'm in the process of building an attached garage. When finished I want to add a light and a couple of electricity sockets.
Can I just power both from a new MCB in the consumer box (there are free spaces available) as I want to keep it seperate from the rest of the house electrics?
Should I put them on the regular or RCD side of the box?
Do I have to use any special wire or is regular twin and earth ok?
Cheers
Mikey

Regular T&E okay but the lighting should be seperate from the sockets and 1mm2 as opposed to 2.5mm2 as used in your mains
 
following on from that, the sockets should be in a ring using 2.5 twin and earth and should be on the rcd side of your cunsumers unit, and the lights should be in 1 or 1.5 twin and earth and not on the rcd side of your consumers unit
