I have a requirement to fit exterior sockets, exterior light switches and exterior lighting.
The cable will be clipped to the masonry walls.
So can ordinary 2.5mm2 T&E be used or do the wiring regs now call for exterior grade cable?
Does surface mounted cable require mechanical protection? ( if cable is in floors, or ceilings or in walls, I use metal galv trunking unless cable is 50mm or more from surface)
