Hello,
I would like to fit an outside light, but the only power source nearby is a spur socket. If I add an FCU to the spur, will it be OK to then run sockets and outside light FCU from that?
What I'm planning to do is (I also want to move the socket to the right):
Does that look correct? The sockets are RCD protected, and the switched 3A FCU would be double pole.
Also, what cable would be appropriate to use from the 3A FCU to the light? It would be going through a cavity wall directly into the back of the light:
Would 1.5mm2 T+E be suitable, or would something like 1.5mm2 NYY-J be better? Can NYY-J be chased into the wall? And is it OK to have the cable unprotected when going through the cavity wall or should it be in conduit?
Thanks!
