I moved into my home 10 years ago and noted a cable coming from the house under the garden but couldn't find the end. I have recently demolished my garage and I found an armoured cable underneath which was heavily taped at the end. As I am laying decking I decided I wanted to cut this so I tested the cable, imagine my shock(thankfully not literally) at finding this was actually a live cable. I isolated it and have cut it back and placed an outdoor socket on it to make it safer.
My question is what can i actually do with this? I want to add a security light to my home and decking lights and was just going to drill through my wall and plug in. Can I use this existing to add these or will I be looking at having to get a sparkie due to the dreaded part P.
For info I have no idea where this cable comes from in my home, although it appears to go directly into my fuse box.
