Hi guys, I am getting my garden landscaped, and as part of it need some lighting and power changes outside
Currently got one downstairs ring, one socket on the ring is spurred to a fused spur and running 2 security lights
One socket is spurred and running the outside socket on the wall with a double pole isolator inside
I want more lights and a second outdoor socket further up the garden, I have been given 3 options by two electricians
1) remove all the spurs, new feeds to consumer unit and new circuits for lights and sockets - difficult to get new cables to consumer unit at other side of the house
2) remove the spurs, and use the spur that's feeding the current outdoor socket to run a secondary consumer unit for 3 lighting (LED) and 1 socket circuits
3) leave it like it is, spur off another socket for the new lighting circuit, change the double pole isolator for a fused spur and spur off the current outdoor socket for the second socket
I know option 1 is probably the best, but could be major disruption, what would you guys recommend?
