Hi,
have some spotlights that i want to get put in to decking in the garden and a plug socket. Before i get a few quotes from electricians want to get a basic understanding of what should/needs to be done.
My fusebox is BEYOND ancient, however a much newer fusebox was installed for the kitchen so it's on it's own ring circuit. I have an existing twin socket that's not used. if i replace with a RCD socket and have the garden decking lights plugged in to this, will it suffice in terms of ensuring there's a proper circuit breaker in case anything goes wrong? Also if the RCD socket trips will that also knockout the rest of the kitchen circuit?
when running the cable outside is there any additional covering of the cable that is necessary i.e. some type of plastic sheathing? even if it's not necessary should it not be done for extra protection agianst the elements?
Any advice greatly appreciated
Thanks
Marcus
