Q & A

It is intended to use 12V lights, ducted back to a 240V supply, which currently has BS88 20A fuse protecting a 13A socket. I take it from the regulations that it will need RCD protection and a transformer within a waterproof enclosure, but can you advise on what exactly I would need to do to make it regulation compliant? ­­
