Hi Folks,
I have trawled this forum and noted the many different posts about deck lights etc. but can't find the answer I need...
I am nearly finishing my extension and have built decking along one side of the house. When the builders were here, I got them to provide feeds outside for 2 light points: 1 just above DPC for deck lights (240V walkovers with LED lamps like these: http://www.screwfix.com/prods/62550...ow-Level/Eterna-Ground-Decking-Light-IP68-50W
The other is above the doors for a 150w flood (or similar). Both are connected to the same switch inside, by the door, but not on a seperate FCU (normal domestic 1 way light switch)
SWMBO has also (now) mentioned her "need" for 3 wall lights by the main deck area, so my question is:
How is best to allow 3 different circuits (walk-overs, flood, wall lights) to be controlled differently from these 2 supplies.
I thought about using something like this http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Pumps_and_Aquatics_Index/Electrical_Fittings/index.html
using the feed intended for the deck lights as the input and outputs to the wall and deck lights, but this would mean the flood was on all the time
Anyone offer a decent way of doing this (preferably without having to open up any plaster inside 'cos I've just finished 8 months of skimming and decorating).
BTW, I've used Hituf, 3 core under the decking, but nothing's connected up yet (will get sparky to do it and, yes, he'll do all the notification and part P etc., but I just wanted everything to be right so he can sign it off OK.
Thanks for all your help,
