Hello.
I’ve recently had an extension completed and to the rear of the property I have 2 lights on the wall either side of a bifold door controlled by a switch inside.
My electrician is returning to sort something else out so I was curious if it was simple to extend the spur from one of these lights and add an additional 5/6 lights along a garden fence? Would it be as simple as disconnecting one of these lights (nearest to the fence) and running a new cable from that light to the next one and repeating the process until I reach my last light? All the cable would be concealed behind the fence so would look near.
I’ve read outdoor lights need RCD but would the existing (installed 6months ago) lights already be on an RCD as they are new and installed with new wiring back to the new consumer unit?
Thank you
