Outside light

[ktp]

You don't sound stupid, but you do sound as though you don't yet have anything like enough basic knowledge of circuit topologies, and what components to use when, where, and how, to be attempting the installation of an outbuilding supply on the basis of whatever questions happen to occur to you....

And as for labour costs - how does DIY + LABC notification fee compare to the cost of getting an electrician?

I haven't actually asked the LABC fee, I'm doing that tomorrow so it could end up financially the same. However, I still want to try and do it myself, which has nothing to do with the financial aspect of the job.

As for my last question being one 'that happened to occur to me' isn't that how you learn, by having a question and trying to find a solution?
I do not want and have no intention of doing any other electrical jobs in my home. I will use an electrician but this is one job I think I can tackle myself. Of course time will tell!!

Many thanks again for the help
