Hi,
Im going to wire up the summerhouse once complete in the garden, it will be supplied with power via a run of SWA from the main house.
Near the summerhouse there are some lights and a couple of pumps which need to be connected up, what is the best way to do this?
Anything buried will be SWA but I dont really want to be doing 1-2m runs between FCUs for the pumps in it.
T&E in plastic conduit, regular flex in plastic conduit, arctic flex or swa?
Also would I be correct in assuming that I cant connect flex (eg. from a string of lights) directly to a switch, and it needs to go via a FCU? Or is it allowed as long as all the cable ratings are OK?
(i.e. wire a string of outdoor lights using 13A flex directly to the lighting circuit so long as I used a 6A MCB)
