Hi all,
I want to install a couple of ~60W photocell-activated outdoor lights on the wall of my garage to give some security lighting in the garden area.
The garage has it's own small consumer unit (RCD protected at the main consumer unit) with a separate circuit for lighting and for one double 13A socket.
So, I need to spur off the socket circuit... This is the current setup:
...as you can see, there's just one t&e (presume 2.5mm?) coming from the consumer unit to the socket, so no ring main.
Can I just fit a junction box and 3A FCU where the t&e comes across the joists, or should I spur off the socket itself? (I thought you weren't supposed to spur off a socket with only one wire coming to it?)
Thanks!!
Gareth
