Hey every1,
After being put in my place on a previous thread for my thoughts on using an armoured to supply lighting and another CU, I've had to re think my plans altogether. I'm not gonna use the armoured anymore... I'll use it for the CU at a later time.
For now, I need to supply an outdoor light that can be switched manually and provide a permanent supply to a PIR security light.
I want to take a supply from the kitchen ring main by running a cable through the wall from behind a socket to a weatherproof fused switch box mounted on the outside wall. Then, from that box have a permanent supply going to the security light and use the switch in the FCU for the other light.
I know that if I take a spur from a ring main, it must be fused as the 32amp MCB is far too big to protect my lights but if I take a feed from an inside lighting circuit must this be fused too?
What cable should I use outside that can be clipped directly to brickwork without having to be run through conduit?
And, is this work still notifiable to the LABC under part P?
Thanks
