Thanks Gas Monkey. I've just worked out what I'm doing wrong... I only need to double one dimension to equal two hole capacity... I.e. 0.8 x 0.4...

Thanks again for all the input. It's helpful to consider what I need, might like, and perhaps don't need at this stage. On balance I went for this...

Hi, Just checking what I am proposing is OK... I want to put a light and double socket outside my (standalone) garage. The garage has it's own...
Thank you!
I'm going with a plug end on some flex for the time being. It's the least disruptive if the fan turns out not to achieve the results I'm looking...
