Hello,
Our house has a PIR floodlight at the back which has recently packed up. The person who installed it drilled a hole in the house to feed the cable through and power it from a socket in our bedroom. Looking at past posts on this forum it seems as though there's nothing wrong with doing that.
I've bought a replacement CFL 36 watt PIR floodlight and would hope that an electrician can do a like for like replacement without having to connect it to the lighting circuit in the house.
2) I have a new light to fasten to our shed which has it's own RCD, the old light is plugged into a socket in the shed.
3) Also the light in our pantry has stopped working and that is supplied from a scoket in the dining room.
If I get an electrican in to do these replacements and repairs who isnt a cowboy, will he be happy to use sockets or insist they are wired into the lighting circuit?
Ta,
R
