Hi my sparky has gone AWOL with just this to finish. The two black plugs are two rows of garden lights that are already installed. I would presume the top hole is for a switch to turn on and off and the bottom a fused spur maybe to get power but how does it all wire up. Because the job is small local trades are to busy. Thanks for any replies.

I would have put in an double outside socket that you could switch from the house using a 20a switch
 
Presumably the plan was to extend the socket circuit to a fused unit or depending how you do it a 20a DP switch , then I would have run a feed to an IP double sockt for those plug tops to plug into

Its like a 2 hour job for a good sparks to do this job so worth ringing around some local sparks

I think the issue might be theres only a wooden fence outside to attach to. I'll try some others.
 
I'm surprised he didn't speak to you about how he was going to do this before he started. Probably not a good sign.
 
Did the a.w.o.l sparkly charge anything for this work?

Either he/she couldn't work out how to get the power to outside and or maybe couldn't get cables up from the bottom hole (for sockets??( to the top hole (for a switch??)
