 Wiring an outside lamp - CGNorwich
Nex project is to put up an external PIR controlled light on the garage wall.

I'm no electrician but after consulting various websites here I what I propose to do. The easiest place to access power is from a mains cable running from the mini consumer unit in the garage to a double socket. There is a bit of slack in this cable so I propose cutting into it and adding a junction box. I then will run a 2.5 mm cable from the junction box to a switched fused connection unit. I will. Then run a 1.5 mm cable from the FCU to the outdoor lamp via a hole I have drilled in the wall.


Any electricians out there confirm this is all ok and the way to go.
