Outside light circuit

[eagleeye]

Hi people im just priced a job up to put in an outside frount light with remote PIR. the easiest way to do it is to take a feed off of the upstairs ring, put in an RCD protected fused spur drill though wall and fit light. Is this acceptable with the regs and what test would i need to do for it ? I thought installation cert ?

This would be acceptable if the ring isn't RCD protected.Make sure you change the fuse to 3A.A minor works cert should be sufficient.

basically don't have one RCD protecting another, you may open a can of worms for yourself
