    Installing wired floodlight using existing spotlight wiring.

    I currently have 3 spotlights that are controlled by a switch and I'd like to replace these with wired floodlights. Would it be possible to reuse the existing wiring + switch?

    Super dumb question, but I'm curious. Can a house be wired similar to a fresh water manifold, or a m-unit for motorcycle rewires?

    In other words, can every fixture, switch, appliance, etc go directly to a manifold of sorts so you could program/reprogram the switch to turn on different things? Kind of like using a freshwater manifold system instead of a traditional branch system. I KNOW i'm ignorant and there must be good...

    Outside light wired in flex

    Outside light wired in 0.5mm flex but protected by a 3amp fuse. A 0.5mm flex max is 3A current carrying capacity, would you give that a code for an EICR? Cable size is small but it’s protected by the fuse, was thinking maybe a C3 due to it being a flex outside
