The 16A MCB is wrong . It is 6 A, sorry. 2 Main switches because I want Shed and outdoor lighting be separate)Why 2 main switches?
You don't get 63mA and 80mA RCDs. I think you are confused with the maximum operating current.
Outside lighting on a 16A MCB - maybe a bit OTT?
I would go for a full RCBO unit with an SPD.
I have made another mistake in writing. These are 80A,63 A and 40A RCDsThe 16A MCB is wrong . It is 6 A, sorry. 2 Main switches because I want Shed and outdoor lighting be separate).
Yes, RCBOs are better, I will have more space as well.I think you'd be better off with a single 100a main switch then use individual RCBOs for all circuits. This would provide better discrimination in the event of an earth fault on any final circuit.

I have uploaded the revised image. I will have a small consumer unit in the shed being fed from here. I am not sure if it is wise to feed the shed CU from a a RCBO in this main CU!?Why 2 main switches?
