thanks, obviously it will be wired to waterproof outdoor socket with an RCD, so its alot safer than just leaving an extension lead outside lol 

yea I guessed that would happen, oh well, and as for if it trips, I can just disconnect it from the mains since its wired via a plug, and for such a small installation I don't want to go through the process of wiring it directly its own breaker in the consumer unit 

thanks for the reply, I do understand how the RCD works and the only reason I'm using the plug is simply for redundancy and also ease of access if it where to trip, as for the cable, its only going to run a few metres which I why I don't want to spend a lot of money for such a simple job...

Hello, I was wondering what cables are acceptable to be used outdoors, simply put, can I use a 13A 240V 3 core flex outdoors?  I have heard it can be dangerous because it is possible for the PVC coating to crack in the UV rays from the sun, is this true? and if so can you make me aware of any...
