Good afternoon,
I am considering external lighting, most of which is powered by a standard UK plug.
In the past I have connected the plugs into a 'passthrough' RCD, such as this;
My question is whether it is safe (or wise) to further 'stack' such plus with other plugs. For example, would it be safe to put a smart plug into the RCD;
And then would it be safe to plug an extension into that (assuming all load is within the limits of the most limiting component?)
I realize that it is 'messy,' but it would all be off a socket in the garage, so there's no risk of anybody knocking them - the question is just whether it's safe.
Many thanks.
