There are a lot spots in the house alright, mostly now with LED bulbs but house was built 20years ago.
There is already a standard light switch installed inside for the lights, I was just planning to connect the lights.
A standard light switch does not fully isolate the lamps.

Thanks. Are you saying I need the fused connection because of the cable size on a 10A circuit?
If I go for a 1.00mm or larger cable would that be better ?
 
I'm saying you need a DP switch

And if you're fitting one, you may as well use a SFCU. The incremental value of the fuse it small, but the cost is smaller.

One with a "neon" can remind you when it's on.
 
If it's a good idea to add a DP switch then I'm happy to go along with it.

Just want to confirm, is there is any issue with the 0.75mm flex in my circuit.
 
0.75mm is only rated to 6A, so it would be preferable to fuse it down. A 3A fuse will be plenty for your outdoor LED lighting and is widely available.
