I am trying to make sure i have containment in place for future use as i refurb the house so i dont complete the inside and have to start knocking holes in it again for stuff i have forgot along the way. Thinking about external lighting early so that i can run containment or cables now for connection later. I have a few questions but before i go any further is the basic diagram below correct for what i am looking for?

I plan to have 3 external lighting set ups. 1) Lighting to front of house and driveway controlled by a photocell /day/night sensor 2) Lighting to the rear of the house on simple on/off switch 3) Lighting to the garden on simple on/off switch

In my house, I used a small contacter wired to the photocell to handle the load rather than run the load through the photocell. although likely not an issue with Led, a bonus is if any light goes faulty, it trips Mcb without blowing up the photocell.

I ran a Timer controlled output to the switch location as well as a permanent supply.
Then using 2 way and centre off switches i have the choice of
1, Timer controlled
2, Permanently off
3, Permanently on
