Wiring Wall Lights - Fused Connection Unit

[OliveBranch]

Hi All,

My first post! I'm not a pro but have been doing my own wiring for a few years. Always go for safety first which is why I thought I'd run it past you guys first.

I'm about to wire up 2 wall lights into a bedroom. They are actually more bedside lights and as such are only at bed height. I've decided to wire it from a fused spur wired into the ringmain as it's more convenient. The lights each have their own integrated switch.

My question is:
After I've wired the FCU to light1, to attach the two lights together, do I
1. have to connect light1 to light2 directly(as appears to be most common), or
2. can I run a second wire directly from the FCU to the second light?

Hope this makes sense

Thanks in advance

either method is fine its just a case of what is easier to wire

Thanks Plugwash. The connection straight to the FCU is easier so I'll go that way.

Many Thanks

Thanks Plugwash. The connection straight to the FCU is easier so I'll go that way.

But not diagonally, I hope.

I think that's rule number 12 in the OliveBranch handbook - 'Horizontals and Verticals only'.

Thanks for checking. Now I know why this site's as rated as it is.

Cheers Guys
