Can power be taken from a normal plug socket somewhere at the rear of the house, or does it need its own circuit from the main consumer unit?

    Combining a light activated switch with a 24hour timer delay for garden lighting.

    Hi there, I want to setup my garden lighting to come on when it's getting dark, but always turn off around 11:30pm. Obviously in the winter that may mean they come on at 5pm ish, whilst in summer that could be around 9pm I guess. But I don't want to turn them on manually all the time and neither...

I’ve been given White...
