[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 502663, member: 28452"] What you are suggesting is OK as a short term lash-up, for example for Christmas lights, PROVIDED, the outdoor part is adequately waterproof and secure, and a 3amp fuse is used on it's plug. It must be wired with a suitable three core insulated flex. It should not however be regarded as a permanent installation, as portable and loose items such as extension leads are susceptible to deterioration and damage in long term use and can easily become dangerous. May I suggest that there are some solar powered PIR outdoor lights available which may meet your need. [/QUOTE]
