Hi,
I wish to fit a security light to my gable end.
The only socket I can use on that wall is in my bedroom as I have laminate flooring in the living room so can't get under the floor.
I think the best way is to spur it off the bedroom socket and put a switched fuse spur in a surface mounted box, and I could place the box over the hole I would need to drill through the masonry (it is a solid wall) to put the flex out to power the light.
Would this be ok?
I'm not in the house right now so can't check if the cables come through vertically dropped conduit, what is the likelyhood of this or there being some sort of other arrangement for the cable route?
I know there are regulations or guidelines as to where I can drill due to cables being in the walls, could someone tell me what I can or can't do, or the best way to do it?
Thanks
Or even a completely new
