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

    That depends upon the location and type of plug and socket. A plug and socket outlet are a perfectly good means of isolation - Table 537.4.
