Hi, I'm hoping one of you clever electrical types may be able to help.
I have just picked up a set of old light fittings (tracking with 3 lamp holders) that have just been taken down at work, with the intention of fitting in my garage that currently has no lights or power.
I would like to get a couple of power sockets at the same time for tools, but understand that with the different amp needs of each thing, that its not that simple.
Do I simply drill a hole through the wall, stick an extension lead through and put a plug on the lights cable with the correct ampage, so I can still use the remaining sockets on the extensions lead for other things?
Or, do i buy a cheap fuse box for the garage, use a spare fuse (old style box) from my existing fuse box out to it and split it that way?
Any help much appreciated.......
