Hi all - very informative site by the way.
Couple of small queries I'm hoping you can hint at possible cures for me!
First off - this wasn't a query till I read a previous post - the post mentioned a maxiumum of 12 x 100 watt light set up on one lighting circuit (radial I now gather?!). Ive gone a little low voltage halogen spots mad of late; latest 'instalment' was 5 spots (on dimmer - they all are in fact, I'm quite obsessed with the right type of lighting...) - would these 5 be counted within the alotted 12? I was about the install another 5 set in my living room (currently has a 4 way halogen 'branch' in place so not much difference).
I'm hoping a suggestion of another light circuit is prescribed...that's pretty much out of my technical 'jusrisdiction'.
Thanks....
...secondly...
Need second double socket in living room as it only has the one (relatively old house with pre war electrical requirements - all rooms have one socket only...and some of those are single sockets!!).
I don't believe this to be a spur from another socket...but how can I be sure - take apart the existing one and check for more than one/two cables?
Thanks - sorry for the long (double) post!
