Mar 21, 2014 · I have a basic understanding of wiring and i recently wired up my whole garage with 6x two gang sockets also utilising one of them as a spur into the room on the other side of the wall. My next task is to wire up two tube lights on the roof controled by 2 switches (one at one end of the garage, one at the other), with the mains power coming ...

Mar 15, 2021 · Minor change of plan, looked into their IP20 lights (An entire pound cheaper!) appear to have provision for the wiring of actual 3 core wire into and out of the light, so that should be better all round. I'm going to go for 2 high up at the front, 2 at the rear, and one in the middle - that should give a good light spread.

Jan 24, 2019 · I currently have 2 lights on the outside (1 either side) of my garage door with a separate PIR sensor fitted between them above the garage. I need to replace this arrangement with 2 lights (built in PIRs) both wired to a single internal switch. From what I can see - a cable is running from 1 light to the sensor

Jan 18, 2016 · Lights are connected with 1.5mm^2 T&E Solid cable Power supply to the garage comes from a 13A fused spur in the utility and connects to a 13A fused switch in the garage using 1.5mm^2 armored cable.

Nov 12, 2018 · Im looking at adding electricity to my garage. The armoured cable is already in place but its just connected to a 16amp Circuit breaker in the house CU and then just a plug socket in the the garage. I understand thats not right so I was planning 1. Placing a 2 gang CU with 40A 30mA RCD in the garage with a 20 or 25amp MCB for the 1 double socket 2.

Sep 29, 2020 · The light you list is great - but depending on the size of your garage, and the use, it may be a better option to fit 2 or 3 smaller LED battens to get better light spread. And at risk of all sorts of flak - just wire it/them up to the existing light fixture.

Aug 9, 2019 · I have a detached single garage, with the lekky coming from the house (from the main board on a 16a breaker). The cable goes from the house under the concrete path to garage. Garage has two double sockets and a strip light (no breaker in garage). Looks like a 2.5mm cable for sockets and 1.5mm cable for light. 1.

Oct 1, 2022 · They would not be in series they would be in parallel, re using a JB or wiring through, I have done both and combinations of them both it just depends on the cable and light layouts. For example cable coming up from switch to middle of a squarish shaped garage and the fittings coming of evenly from the middle point so it would made sense to ...

Dec 9, 2024 · I currently have a 1 gang intermediate switch as I enter the garage from the inside of the house and I think a 1 gang 2 way switch on my way out the garage side door. There's nothing near the up and over door that I leave from. Each garages has a single pendant light, that comes on together via the intermediate or 2 way switch.
