A couple of years ago I did an extension on my house. While doing that I ran cable to two waterproof junction boxes on the outside wall in the garden. One was going to be for lighting, and the other for garden power. The other end at the comsumer unit is not on the RCD side as there isnt any room and no room to extend it either.
So now I have 2 masterseal single gang boxes on the outside wall each with a supply in it. I have 5 lights running around the garden at the moment connected by Armoured cable and run back under the patio to the outside wall where the power boxes are. Nothing is currently connected.
How can I ensure these circuits are protected properly without having heaps of boxes stuck on the wall. Its not an option to remove the boxes that are there, so I would need to come out of these 2 junction boxes into whatever device I need to on the outside. It may seem simple to put 2 x RCD sockets out there (1 for lighting, 1 for power), but the lighting cable is already armoured cable so heaven knows how I would teminate that to get a plug on it!!
Any suggestions welcome!
