NEW LIGHTS ADDED

[Chri5]

Part P forbids external electrical work, hence his post.

No it doesnt.

When you say no, are you talking about the tenious debate that surrounds fittings on an exterior wall with the cabling directly back in to the building ?

Then feed a 1.5mm TE cable from a socket in to the fused spur.

Are you sure?

What's being implied here then 13 amp fuse spur (even if fused down, the cable should be rated for the 13 amp potential load).

I know I fell about 9ft from a ladder yesterday, but I didn't bang my head !

Part P should apply to that. It is essential that a competent person installs external lighting to try to ensure there is no danger of electrical shock from a poorly /in correctly installed lamp.

Part P applies to all electrical work, but external fittings with cabling from inside are not notifiable (unless it is a new circuit)
