Adding a light to a circuit problem.

[telectrix]

too fast for me , spin. was going to say roughly the same thing. as long as the light is mounted on the house wall.

But surely modifying a internal circuit (outside of special the kitchen and bathroom) to install a outside light is notifiable as I thought all outside installations were

 

[malcolmsanford]

The installation of equipment attached to the outside wall of a house (for example security lighting, air conditioning equipment and radon fans) is not notifiable provided that there are no exposed outdoor connections and the work does not involve the installation of a new circuit or the extension of a circuit in a kitchen or special location or associated with a special installation.

Taken from Part P silliness

Yes if the cables have to cross the garden, then it would also require notification.
I can never manage to copy anything from my version of the Part P document?

I really do need to get my head round all this part P stuff so many different ways of interpreting it :mad2:

You are taking yourself to task for not making "sense" of "non sense"

Dont be so hard on yourself,there is rumour that somebody somewhere actually finds justification for that non sense
A person yet to be identified may I had

And use old colour cable if possible.

saves fitting a mixed wiring label.

Also cut out the cpc as there is less chance of the circuit tripping too :ninja:

whats wrong with it?

I assumed that Dillb was suggesting cutting off the cable CPC at the lighting fitting.

If it's a class 1 fitting, you need to use it. If it's class 2 fitting, sleeve (if bare) and terminate/insulate the CPC in case the fitting is later changed to a class 1.
