Hi Guys,

Wondering if someone can advise me if i can do the following. I just want the wiring to be neat and tidy and not have so many outside, also happy to hear your recommendations of course!

RCD FCU to Outdoor Double Socket using 2.5mm >

From Outdoor Socket to another FCU with 3amp fuse to Connect to some 240V Spike Lights >

The Spike Lights chained to each other 6x Spike Lights in total using LED Bulbs 5-10W each.
 
Like pc1966 said just re fuse a plug, doing it the way you outline: obviously you'll test the circuit for suitability in line with the current bs7671 requirements to ensure safe disconnection times are met and perform the required tests on the RCD... Or... Just use a plugtop with a 3 amp fuse (could be a bigger fuse btw it's cable size dependant).
