I have a low level pointless light in our small garden.
When we moved I brought our petrol mower which is overkill, have since got a useless push mower, now thinking elec mower.
If I'm not here the mrs cant use the petrol fella.
I thought of changing the light to a socket and using a as low powered elec mower - 1000w
Would the relatively newish elecs, lighting cable on a wall switch etc be okay?
Thoughts please, ok, bad move!

If the light is on the lighting circuit than the answer is NO. 1000w is not low powered for such a circuit and the starting current will most likely trip the MCB.

Not checked cable yet, I thought it was quite thin when i put a bulb in a bit ago so guessing 1mm.

Plan c. Cordless
