I would be grateful for advice on an issue regarding running a lighting circuit from a fused switched spur unit.
I had an existing outdoor 13 amp socket on an outside wall, which was a paved patio area.
I have this year built a garden room where the patio existed.
My question is ...can I run a lighting circuit consisting of four wall lights ( each one powering 2 x 20 watt bulbs) controlled by two dimmer switches from a fused spur unit , run from the outlet supply point where the 13 amp socket was previously?
I was always told mains and lighting circuits were never to be crossed! although I know that since my days these regs have changed .
I live in a cottage where running cables back to the consumer unit (four rooms away would involve digging up solid floors to re channel cables ( the rooms ceiling heights are all different, so that route is also out!)
Any help, advice, and alternatives would be gratefully accepted. Thank you.
