Just a quick one. I have added an LED floodlight off an existing light on an outside wall and the circuit is not rcd protected. Do I need to fit an rcbo on the circuit or not. The cable is clipped direct through a loft space.
 
You are only applying the latest regs to the part of the installation you are installing so you nead to check if a cliped direct cable requires rcd protection or an outside light requires rcd protection ? I think tel has given you the answer :)
