Thanks everyone for your insight and helpful comments. Very much appreciated. Agreed your all correct, I think we were both just trying to be over cautious as we never went to uni (told you i was simple) but I've heard how crazy some students are, just covering our backs I guess, you never know...

I've had a quick workout of appliance wattage for a worst case scenario as- fan heater - 2000w @8.3A iron - 2000w @8.3A hoover - 1500w @6.25A straighteners - 300w @1.25A hair dryer - 1200w @5A mini fridge - 120w @0.5A desktop computer - 200w @0.83A 32'' plasma tv - 400w @1.67A dvd...

Do you guys think a 20A radial supply would be sufficient enough for all these things mentioned? Desktop computers, hairdryers, iron, mini fridge, heater just in case, hoover etc??? Obviously by applying diversity but Tbh I've never sat and worked it out. I should give it a will go tonight. yes...

I think 16A on a 2.5mm radial for each room is a bit risky just in case they do run heaters mini fridge irons etc? Or am I just being over cautious? Agreed though that the lighting should be wired seperate

Morning all! I past a job onto a friend of mine which was rewire what was a 2 bedroom semi into being refurbished into a 5 bed student house. I suggested just wiring simple ring mains but that's because it turns out I am simple. So his suggestion is to wire each room individually, as 4mm...

Before I noticed the switch was knackered I also replaced the switched spur also as no power would switch to the outgoing. I think it's just click in general are rubbish

Ok chaps, I've tried it with the override switch and it works! Bonus! Just have to wait and see if the PIRs work now when the light levels drop. Thank you all for you input and advice, much appreciated! In not as stupid as I look after all (",)

Lights have now gone off! Waheeeey!! But I afraid to try the override switch now lol

Any ideas? Can you guys see the pictures??

I've just changed the switch for a new one and switched the spur back on. Both lights have now come on without be turning the override switch on and with dawn/ dusk settings more towards night. I will leave this now like you said for half and hour and hopefully they should go out and then...

That's exactly how I've wired it. I thought it also could have been because there two fittings wired together and the PIRs didn't like it hence them playing up. I've actually bought a new switch so I'm hoping this will solve the issue as I'm thinking they are constantly on due to the switch...
