I am planning to use a photocell (eg Screwfix cat no 11330, max load
capacity 5A) to trigger 6 external lights. These will be low-energy 16w 2-D
fittings.

Apart from the concerns raised by others 2D lights are very lethargic
about getting up to full brightness especially in cold weather when
they can take 5 or 10 minutes to get a decent light output. Unless
you expect the lights to be on for a long time incandescent may well
be a better choice.
