Management is asking for a light on the garden shed. It's around 5
metres from the house with a paving slab patio between the two.
There is a possible route round the edge under some block paving and
then under a gravel run.

Could the supply be taken from, say, a fused spur fed from the
nearest internal 13 amp socket (the utility room)? If so, what
cabling and protection would be required between the two?

This is not necessarily DIY but I would like an idea on what to
expect if we go ahead and put it out to a professional.


If it's just for use as an outside light to show you the path, look at
a battery powered LED security light. As it's LEDs & only on for
minutes at a time the batteries last ages.

I found one, earlier in the year, where the solar panel is on a long
cable away from the light. This means the light itself can be mounted
where the sun never shines.


Battery powered, not solar, which allows them to be mounted where most
convenient.

Battery powered, but solar recharged. Like a great many devices.
