Im looking for the easiest way to connect low voltage halogen underlighting in my kitchen. Its in a middle floor flat so access to the lighting ring in the ceiling is difficult. The 3 sockets in the kitchen are on their own 15Amp radial circuit...
1) Can I spur off this?
2) Can the spur include a switch?
3) Would I have to include a fuse connection in the switch (the lights come witha 240v to 12v transformer)
Oh, 1 more thing, Can I add another socket to the end of a radial circuit (and isnt this effectively adding a spur to the last socket on the circuit?)
Thanks in advance for your comments. |

The safest option is to add a switched fused spur box with a 3A or 5A fuse fitted (looks like a light switch, but with a fuse holder built in.) There is then no problem adding the light to a 15A radial circuit.
