    Main earth run outside?

    Can the main earth be run on the outside of a building from the MET to the consumer unit clipped direct? Would it not need some form of protection

    Outside armoured cable

    I need to run an outside armoured cable to a pond pump. I will install all the necessary protection devices. MY question is can the cable be laid loose on the ground between trees or attached to the trees. I dont really want to dig a trench all the way over a 40metre run. Thanks

    Hi I've recently moved into a new property & have the following issue. There's an outside light at the back & I can't find the on/off switch for it. There's power to it, as the light comes on if the sensor is tripped, but I want to change it to a normal floodlight & only have it on when I...

    Why would an electrician put the earth wires outside a junction box?

    I needed to move a socket and to do so had to crawl in my loft, there are wires all over the place (not a clip in sight) and 3 junction boxes all right near each other. Anyway what the hell is going on with this particular box?

    Outside lights

    I wish to install two outside lights & pick up the supply from the existing hall light switch. The hall light switch is a 2 way switch with red wires connected to L2 & COM & black to L1. Is it possible to replace the single switch with a double switch & use a live feed to operate the outside lights?

    What code? No RCD, outside lights

    Outdoor lighting circuit (domestic) without 30mA RCD additional protection, what code would you give it? I'm leaning toward C2 as (A) outside lights have a habit of filling up with water, and (B) anyone touching it may be in contact with the bare ground. What are your thoughts?
