Outside light and timer, switch required?

Former Community Member

Hi, I have to install an led outside light and a timer will be installed indoor to control.

The timer will get a feed from a room light switch.

The light wont have a pir just timer controlled.

Would it be normal practice to have a 1 pole or 2 pole (for neutral isolation) after the timer to isolate outside light for any safety purposes, or is this overkill and unnecessary? 

Also timers normally have an override so won't need a separate switch for that purpose either.

 

Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thank you

    MY outside lights are all connected through a round pin plug and socket.  That allows total isolation and allows the lamp to be tested independently  of the control circuits.
    And probably is non compliant
