[QUOTE="kme, post: 8979, member: 113"] There is no issue with the two ccts coming through the same box. However, I DO have an issue with the fused spur to 5A for the socket & lights. 1) If someone decides to use the hoover, pressure washer, or any other item in that socket, the fuse would blow. Someone could conceivable put a 13A fuse back in the spur, leaving your lights unprotected! If the socket you choose is on the ring, and it is RCD or RCBO protected at the box, I would simply take the outside socket supply, as a spur, from that point. That leaves your fused spur & dimmer for the outside lights. KME [/QUOTE]
