I have been asked to fit an outside light for a customer and they do not have RCD protection on their lighting circuit.

Could anyone tell me if this (which is what I have already):

Just checked for you. SQO and KQ are the same fitting, just 6kA and 10kA respectively.

I think KQE is the code for the RCBO you need, and it comes in modern schneider branded flavour, so don't pay over the odds for "obsolete" square D backstock.

Because the shield is missing. They are generally removed when people want to convert these into standard busbar compatible. If it has still got its bubar clip in, it's unsheilded presenting a problem with exposed unrecessed live parts.

Is it a retaining wall? If so I'm of the opinion penetrating damp is almost impossible to avoid. Make a channel underneath for runoff and slosh...
