Hello, been looking for ages but now decided to register and post.....
Two questions:
Can someone please explain intermediate switching,
and
A mates place currently has 2 lighting circuits (up and downstairs - including the kitchen). He's having a kitchen extension built and as a result will be adding 14 down lighters (voltage to be decided). These will be switched in 2 groups, 1 of 10, the other of 4. I have suggested that a new lighting circuit should be run in just for these lights - am I right - he thinks I'm being a girl! I thought you had to assume each fitting at 100w and then apply a usage percentage (66%?) for the amount of lights in total that would be on at the same time.
Any help appreciated - ta!
