Hi,
I would like to permanently connect an external wall mounted halogen heater. I have an existing outside security light so I was thinking of breaking the connection to this with a waterproof junction box and running one cable out to the light and another cable out to the heater with an external switch so I can control it. Alternatively I was wondering if I could just connect an external two gang switch to control both the security light and heater and not need a junction box? Alternatively do you think I should avoid messing with the security light and just put the heater on a separate connection? Finally would this be regarded as a notifiable work? For info the security light is 300W and the heater is 1300W and the external lighting is its own connection to the fuse box.
Many thanks
Mark
