Hi all, just looking for opinions. A customer of mine has half a dozen par 38 fittings low level down there garden wall. They are past it and the original wiring is t and e thrown on the gravel beds so are desperate for change. Cu is old but these are fed from a rcd switch spur from a local circuit.
I'm quoting to replace these with new par 38 fittings and led lamps, 1.5 swa to a wall mounted adaptable box under each light then flex up. It's a 40m run and I intend on feeding it from the existing rcd spur. At the end of the run currently there is a single socket that is used occasionally to "trim a hedge" (lights are switched on to use it). I have tried to suggest getting rid but the customer wants it. Without running a separate cable all the way there I'm thinking of putting on the end of the armoured run and having a 13a fuse in the spur. With the use of adaptable boxes I wont be pulling any load apart from dedicated through the light fitting. Ok or not ??
