Steel Garage Wiring Spec

Hi, I’m getting an 8m x 5m insulated steel garage built shortly. The base is going in next week.

Has anyone got an electrical spec for something like this. Have an electrician lined up. He said we will need to run an SWA cable and fit a small panel with a breaker for the lighting and socket circuits.

Can anyone recommend some good lights too?

I have one of these in my attic - seems fine.

My shed is right posh so I have 12v downlighters running off the solar battery. 😉

What's your solar setup ?

25w panel from Maplin into two 7AH 12v SLA batteries with an el-cheepo charge-controller. 😂

Currently retraining the kids on how to turn the lights off so that it's not dead-flat every time I need it. 😫

Would fitting a motion sensor on lights help if kids prove un trainable😊

I'd be afraid that the mice would trip it. 😂
