Looked at a job for a old boy- and wanted to keep costs down for him and make my job bit neater/simplier

Job is to get new swa from new little rcbo board inside house to a external ip65 light switch and then into 6x external lights

then he also wants to power his little shed at end of garden with 1x 13a d.socket- no plans of any more load in there what so ever- made this clear.

instead of running 2x swa's -for for the garden lights and one for the shed

I was thinking run a 2.5mm2 3core swa from c/u into ip65 13a switch spur FEED (acting as the light switch)
Then take a 4core 2.5mm swa cable from ip65 13a spur (load) SF,N,E
and the 4th core into the feed side of the spur as the perm for shed

then the SF,N,E looping through the 6x light fittings and then from the last light fitting into the shed with the perm L,N,E

meterage is 55m- so volt drop is fine

I know this might seem a bit 'lazy' -but work smart, not hard ahh

also is there such thing as a single pole IP65 fuse spur- if not this will not work as there will be no N at the shed if the garden lights are switched off!

then i would have to use a 5core 2.5 SWA (L,L,N,N,E) -if that is even a thing!
