You can add a second fused spur, intersecting the socket circuit, down fuse to 1A-3A, fit 1.00mm t&e load side and then add a switch or use a switched FCU to operate light at the intersection.
wayne, I just noticed. WHy did you post this TWICE??
He may have two sheds that need lighting!

Nope, he posted it, got no reply after an hour and thought he would post again - very bad form. Maybe he forgot that contributers here have jobs to go to...
So I need another FCU and the fuse can be 1A to 3 A use the 1.0mm cable.
if its a switched FCU then that can be used to turn the lighton and off, but can add the pull switch to either a switched on non switched FCU
if I understand correctly.

You can do the above, as the neutral will also be following this path, you have an option of using double pole switches that switch both neutral and live/line, or alternatively connecting or leaving the neutral continuous within the switch box.
No, I don't think he did post again in the sense of creating a second topic in bad form stylee. IIRC this was the sequence of events:
1) He hijacked an old topic to ask his question.
2) I alerted the Mods to the hijack.
3) RF replied, telling him not to hijack and to start a new topic.
4) (Don't know in what order) he did as RF asked and the Mods split off his hijack.
I have more than two sheds that need lights but I have the message folks.
As you are taking a feed from the socket circuit through a fused connection.
You are going to have three conductors
1) line(aka as live)
2) neutral
3) CPC (aka earth)
The cpc should stay continuous throughout the circuit.
The live/line will be connected across the switch between supply(FCU) and load (light). Often between com and L1 on switch.
The neutral can be continuous when a single pole switch is used, the neutral would be simple connected together by the use of connector or if you like a challenge you might be able the strip cable with severing the neutral.
or another option would be installing a double pole switch, where the neutral will be connected across the switch as would the live/line.
Makes no odds which method or switch type you use.

BAS don't like sheds!
I like some of them.
This sort of thing is fine.
