Hi there.
I am just wondering if this is ok to do?
I recently installed a security light and my grandmas house and I drilled straight through the kitchen wall onto the exterior front of the house to install the security pir light. I supplied the light via 2.5mm t&e as it was all I had available (I would have used 1mm but had none available). Anyhow, on the end of the cable in the house, I was going to chase the cable down the wall and into a single socket and spur it from there, remove the socket front, and replace it with a fused switch. But, I was told to just put a 3amp plug on the end, as this would be fine. I am sure.... that this cannot be right? Surely? Please could someone advise, as I have done what they said and just put the 3amp plug obto the end of the light and plugged it into the socket. Is this ok and within regs?
