Hi guys.
Good looking forum here. i have tried searching for this with no luck.
My question is
i am looking to install a motion sensored security light outside. its a 150w halogen flood light.
my plan was to use a double socket outlet in my bedroom and drill directly behind to outside where the light will be fitted.
i will then feed the cable through and fit a dual gang box behind capable of housing 2 single sockets.
i was then going to fit a fused connection unit(13 amp but unsure of this correct rating as i read i should only need a 5a for 150w?) i was going to terminate the light along with the spare power feed to the fcu.
on the other side will be a single socket which will house the other power cable.
Will this work?
I have thought of of just feeding cable through and reconnecting plug and plugging into socket directly but i did not want this as i wanted it to be hidden.
I look forward to ur replies.
Regards
brett
