Hi,
I would like to fit a mini security light (150W) to an outside wall. The first method of connection I was thinking of was to run a cable to the double socket in the car port and fit a FCU. However on closer inspection it appears that the double socket in the carport is a spur (taken direct from the CU?) and not part of the rings main. So that's a no no then.
Can this socket/wiring be utilised/converted. I was thinking of replacing the double socket with a unit comprising of a FCU and a single socket. Does such a device exist? I think I have come across cooker units which appear to have a FCU and a socket built in the one unit, but these are rating at 45A.
Needless to say that we need at least one socket in the carport. Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers,
T
