I'm an engineer, but never had any practical experience of wiring.
I've cabled lighting and power in my new build house, on the loop in/out principal.
i.e. T&E from board to first fitting, T&E to next fitting, T&E to one way switches and 3C &E to 2 way switches.
I have a fitting position(upstairs landing) which has T&E feed, T&E feed out to next fitting to switch with it. T&E to next room, 2 No. 3C&E to 2 No. 2 way switches and 2 No. T&E to an intermediate position.
I'm aware if I'd wired feeds through light switches I could have used less wiring, but I would appreciate views on which is the best way to do this.
Its not too late for me to change and I am running through it alll with an electrician, and we may well change or simply installed a junction box above the fitting position.
Is this a common problem, or have I simply made a meal of a what should have been more straightforward?
