Hi all,

Just wondering if the following is possible. Basically Im thinking
about making some changes to my household electics to accomodate some
recessed LED lights in my patio. Please take a look at the jpeg image
on this web space which will explain the current and proposed
installation.

Basically the one of previous owners has wired the existing outside
light off the back of the isoloation switch for the washing machine.
This is (1) on the "current" installation image and you can see the
switch for the external light above it.

Im sure this must be a bodge but they have then wired the outside
electrial socket straight through the wall off the back of the socket
for the washing machine (2).

So what Im proposing to do is as follows: Im looking at having two
circuits for outside lights on the house - one for the wall lights and
another for the recessed patio lights. The latter will be powered by
transformer housed outside in a weather proof box.

Under the proposed heading on the image:

(1) Existing washing machine isolation switch.
(2) Where the actual washing machine plugs in.
(3) Double pole switch which will go to the transformer.
(4) Double pole switch which will go to the wall lights.

For the wall lights I actually want three fixtures so need a safe way
of feeding these off one switch. From advice received on another thread
Im using DP switches so its possible to fully isolate the circuit in
the event of a short.

Is all of this possible or is it a bigger bodge than what I have
currently?

Cheers,

CM.
