Hi
I have an outside cupboard, well its actually built into the house. I have a socket in it to power my 12 volt garden lights. The power for the socket is taken from a spur off a socket in the bedroom, which is on a 30 amp socket circuit for all the sockets in the flat. My question is would i be better to fit a consumer unit (2 mcb's and main switch) in place of the socket then obviously wire the socket and another socket into the consumer unit. I was thinking of doing it that way because i thought if i have problems with the lights then it will trip at the consumer unit in the cupboard rather than at the main board inside, but would it cause problems adding another consumer unit to the 30 amp circuit?
Any help would be grateful.
Cheers
Stuart
