Hi,
I've a 50A circuit (looks like 6 gauge wire - see image) that used to service an old hot tub and I want to convert it to 20A 12/2 to service a garden shed instead. Add a light and outlet. I'm not an electrician. I've a panel outside where the hot tub was with 2x 50A fuses. Wondering how to do the conversion and whether anything else needs doing at the house panel in basement too?
Thanks
