Hi all, just making some improvements to my dining room and getting the electrics sorted before replastering.
I have what appears to be a spur (only 1 cable running to it, looks like 2.5mm t&e) running to a double socket. It's in a position which makes it very difficult to add it to the ring circuit and I was hoping to add a fused lighting spur to it to run some low wattage display lighting (no more than 100W in total). Is this acceptable/foolish/dangerous/other?
The display lighting currently runs off the socket anyway via a fused plug and cable (looks unsightly), the only difference I can see is that there will be potential to load 2 sockets as well as the lights.
Any advice much appreciated.
Cheers
