MCP????? MCB sorry, it has been one of those days.

Yes it returns to the same MCP which is rated at 16Amps. I was under the impression that lighting circuits were meant to be radial circuits. Also isn't a 6Amp rated MCP more usual, or has this been uprated as the power is over 1200 Watts?

I have recently started some work in my loft and found that the lighting circuit is a ring (from consumer unit via lights and back to the consumer unit). On checking the circuit there are 1400 watts of lighting and the cable is 1.5mm2. Has anyone seen this before and is it OK/safe.
