...best specced and will have best chance of Android updates. At the other end of the scales, the Y6 is great for the money, but is stuck with Lollipop. Both the Sammy and the Y6 have a "simple UI" setting to make things a bit easier, but obviously there are loads of launchers available...

...a short 6mm run from the garage consumer unit 32A mcb to the switch then a 2.5mm ring from there. I believe this is referred to on here as a lollipop. The alternative I can think of is 2 pole rotary isolator and keep the ring all the way. I prefer the cooker switch in terms of operation but...

Yeah but what if you need an emergency lollipop stick or a paint stirrer?

And lollipop people, not just outside schools, 24/7 & 365?

A lollipop system is where the ring final is remote from the consumer unit and a single heavy cable is taken from the consumer unit to where the ring is, then standard 2.5mm² cable forms the ring from that point. Often a cooker connection unit is used to connect the two small cables to the large...

Should have asked "what is a lollipop" apart from the obvious. and is it allowed?

...a kitchen fitter? Are you sure? Assumptions are not a good way to design, or to assess someone's design. The guy might have installed a "lollipop", which although unusual (and probably perverse in this case), isn't necessarily unsafe. Do you have a new circuit originating at the CU...

The so called lollipop method to form a ring final remote from the supply is used, there are both plus and minus points the main problem is loading the ring too close to its origin with any ring can cause an overload without it tripping the MCB. Using a double cooker connection unit there should...

Thank you Taylor for your guidance and support, which I still believe these forums are about.(y) I'm going to continue the rings as you suggested. Now I have a pic, when I said The ring circuit cables disappear into the cavity through a gobbed up hole in the brickwork that I intend to remove...

...on the circuit. So, lets suppose that the ring is wired in 2.5mm² and protected by a 32A MCB. The size of cable for your (stupid idea, IMO) lollipop must satisfy the requirments of a cable carrying 32A in whatever installation method the cable runs in. So, use the fine document as you say...

...is only 1 or 2 correct ways to do things and the standards are restrictive to most other solutions. e.g. rail, aviation, O&G. I like the lollipop solution. And that would reduce the size of the enclosure I need (and therefore the size of the hole in the wall). Is there a standard for the...

Apologies - missed that. I thought you wanted to make it all invisible. You need to copy and paste the whole thing. The morons who wrote the software used by this site couldn't see anything wrong with it generating URLs which it then found unacceptable. See...

...installation is not necessary. "Sheds", The extender tails will run for about 2m-2.5m as described above, I can't make the lollipop search link work but are you suggesting that I use only 1 tail from each closed ring to the CU?-? (I'm inferring from the term lollipop) And you might be...

Why use 2 cables for the extension? http://www.diynot.com/diy/search/5250483/?q=lollipop&o=date&c[node]=8 I have to say that those notions do not betoken anywhere near enough basic knowledge for you to be doing this work. Maintenance free or not, somehow it doesn't seem right to have joints...

damm... Ive got over 100 joints to do. With that process it may take a while but better to do it correct

...50:50 araldite ratio correct and you must ensure the two compounds are thoroughly mixed. Mix on a non-greasy surface using something like a lollipop stick (from art supply shops). When all acetone has completely evaporated you can apply the araldite. Once assembled, gently warm the...

...but I would regard it as any other fused spur and limit to 13A. Figure of 8 circuits are not permitted for ring finals, you can use the lollipop where the first part of the run is in a heavier cable then it splits to a ring, but once it is a ring you can't take a heavier cable to another...

...who comes to work on it later. And to make it a 'ring' you'd want to go back to the board, not the first light, otherwise you'd end up with a 'lollipop' circuit in effect. It would give you some redundancy, but there's a reason we don't bother installing rings for lights - it's not necessary

"It's true. I'm the new lollipop man".

...drop. A single ring final will likely have too large of a volt drop so the designer has to consider how to wire the house. Be it radials, or lollipop circuits or sub-mains that's his job and what he is paid to do. He may for example decide splitting side to side rather than upper and lower is...
