Hello,
I have little electrical experience so am looking for some advice on a garden lighting project I have on. Thanks in advance for anyone taking the time to help me.
I want to install a 240V floodlight I have bought at the top of my garden.
I have bought some shielded cable which I intend to run from a connection box in my kitchen out through the wall into the earth and buried 18" to my shed, where I intend to terminate it in a weatherproof box. I then intend another length of shielded cable out of the shed and up a tree to the light. I want to use the junction box in case I decide to run another light at some point to a different part of the garden. I intend to wire it into the ring circuit in the kitchen using 2.5 twin and Earth.
kitchen ring Junction Box (indoor) Shielded Cable (buried) IP65 Junction Box Shielded Cable FloodLight
--------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------|
My items:
FloodLight
Shielded Cable
Junction box for shed
Glands
I would appreciate anyone pointing out if:-
- If the Junction Box in the kitchen is fused (13Amp ?) is that ok or do I need to run the Shielded Cable coming into the kitchen into a new RCD
- I'm on the right track
- anything missing from my list
- any other advice appreciated
