Garden leccy.
I have an existing outside double plug with its own rcd on the consumer unit.
I want to run a low power circuit down the garden to power lighting and provide power to a small summer office.
Can I just spur off the existing plug and run an armoured cable along the fence or would this require an electrician?
If the above is a no no, what about putting a plug on the end of the cable so it is essentially an extension lead made of armoured cable running along the fence?
Is there any advantage in using 2.5mm core when 1.5mm looks to provide more than enough amps for the expected load?
