Can I spur off a spur for outside lighting and outside socket?

[veedee]

I have two Fcu's on ring circuit (one isolates the dishwasher and the other for washing machine)

From the FCU, there is a spur (where the dishwasher and washing machine is plugged in)

Question.. From the dishwasher spur, can I wire another spur for outside lighting (2x wall lights and two LED flood LIGHTS - all low power)

Then from the washing machine spur, can I wire another spur for an outside plug?

Lights - yes, as long as you step down with a 5A fused unit.
If the washing machine is fused 13A or lower then you can run another plug.

At the moment the spur for the dishwashing machine has a single socket.

Could I

1. Convert this to a double socket and plug dishwasher in

2. Then wire outside socket but place a plug on the end, so this acts like an isolator

3. Connect plug to Internal double socket

You could do that. Bearing in mind that thd total load will be limited to 13amp. (The FCU sbove the worktop limits the current).

I get the feeling that I may live to regret this limiting factor

So because of that would it be best to

1. Wire a 13A FCU to the dishwasher spur.

2. Wire the outside socket to the 13A FCU

But you are already limited to 13amps. You said

So that’s your limit, unless I have misunderstood your plan.

Just by adding an extra 13amp FCU wont give you more power as the source is already rated at 13amps
