Outside light: 2 lights 2 separate switches, 1 fused spur

[JohanJones]

Hi all, some help please.

I know how to wire one external light, which will be under a shelter outside.

I would take a feed from a double socket to a fused spur and wire that to the switch and run that to the light. Have done this before.

The question is I have to do 2 lights. So will get a 2 gang switch but can I run 2 feeds from just that 1 fused spur?

Your guidance is appreciated.

Many thanks, Johan

Yes, you can connect both lights to the same FCU.

Many thanks, just wanted to play safe as one will be 500w floodlight.

That is a lot. Why not get a 50 watt LED floodlight? Just as bright and no more changing failed lamps.

Actually may just get a 150w floodlight and a 60w lantern type.

Should still be alright with a 3amp fuse then in the fused spur.

Thanks

agree with Winston look into led so much less power, less blowing and you can actually touch the lamp with fingers without theworry about transfer of grease and blowing the lamp
