I am looking at running some lights/power to the patio outside via multi-core SWA.
I want to switch the various lights on/off from within the house so I was going to run a spur off the ring main via a 13A RCD FCU & following that a switch (for the light circuits only) down a 5 core SWA cable. The cores would therefore be as follows:
Core 1- Switched live(Wall lights)
Core 2 - Switched live(Deck Lights)
Core 3 - Permanent Live (Outdoor power socket)
Core 4 - Neutral
Core 5 - Earth
Is it permitted to share the neutral/earth between the light/power circuit in the same cable?
