Thanks



I was wondering myself about a lights only supply (sealed lights on gate
posts specifically). Does anyone know definitively if exporting the house
earth is generically OK in this case?

I think in your case, as a pond pump is involved, you should go the whole
hog and seek professional advice. Running and connecting
the cable is quite within the abilities of a competent DIYer but the
planning is not cut and dried.

Don't forget the RCD(s) too
