I've been thinking of adding a couple of outdoor weatherproof sockets to the same wiring I used to connect my CCTV camera, this was previously just powering two outdoor lights which I have removed. The fuse is only 6Amp on that ring so I wouldn't be plugging anything too power intensive into it. Mainly just for my wife to power her turbo trainer in the garage over winter.
A few questions;
Am I safe to do this? I don't think the fuse for that ring is RCD, will that be a problem? It has been powering outdoor lights for years.
Will 6Amp be enough to power the one CCTV camera as well as a bicycle turbo trainer, 18" floor fan, laptop and TV when she is working out? The fan I think would be the biggest power draw but at 110W/240V that's only about 0.5 amp right?
