Why do consider that a USB-C connector would "wear the phone battery out quicker" than a USB-A connector, supplying the same Voltage?

YOU might think so BUT USB-A is the Basic Standard from which all other USB connectors developed. The main advantage of USB-C is that the Plug can be inserted into the Socket in two orientations - because of multiple Top and Bottom connections. Maybe. Of course, a good "plug in adaptor" should...

We all have our problems!

A complicated set of questions involving both the "Ring" Trade Name and UK Ring Circuits. Having any "electrical connections" "tucked under floorboards and carpeted," without access is not allowed in the UK, unless such connections are of an approved type and in a "Maintenance Free" box...

Presumably, the new Light fitting is of Plastic construction, has only a two wire connection and is labeled as being "Double Insulated". Just "Connect the L and N as normal and safely terminate the Earth wire in a separate connector block" as you have already suggested.

Sorry SUNRAY. I think that you really should get used to considering "LED Panel" Luminaires. These have a wide area of illumination, as compared to Fluorescent Battens and their "LED Tube" Batten replacements. (e.g. https://www.ledpanelstore.co.uk/ )

Pictures, voltage details and the floor placement of the proposed "IP-rated in-floor uplights" would also be of interest, considering the UK regulations concerning the placement of 230V "devices" in "wet areas" - such as Bathrooms.

To the switches, you need to replace any existing cable with a suitable length of 1 mm² 3-Core & Earth Cable, in lieu of that which you have proposed. Ericmark suggested However, you could use "kinetic" switches and their associated "Receivers". One "Brand" for such a product is Quinetic...

When Australia "Metricated" (in the 1970s), the minimum ceiling height was reduced from 8 Feet (2438.4 mm) to 2400 mm, to align with the maximum size of a Plaster Board sheet then becoming 2400 mm.

One must wonder what is meant by "getting a slight 'buzz'" The "meter" may (almost certainly) have been a High-Impedance "Digital meter". From this it appears that "Equipotential Bonding" has now been achieved, which is good. I might observe, at this point, that "Earthing" may be a misnomer...

However, that was in https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/pen-non-contact-tester-v-multimeter.650270/ (You should have posted the "Link")

The second Luminaire is "brighter" and dimmable. It is also appears to be colour adjustable - probably at installation. The first one is "fixed" at 3000 K. I prefer a less "orange" colour than 3000 K but that is a matter of personal preference.

Further to the advice that already been given to you, what do you mean by "removed the two gang two way switch as well" Presumably, there are Two Switches on a single Wall-Plate. What does (should) EACH one control. You wrote "two way switch". However, does this mean that they were working to...

Is that height "legal" (for a "habitual" room) in the UK? 2400 mm is the minimum (average) height allowed in Australia!

One wonders why you would wish to install - in a Hallway - "Downlights" - which illuminate only a small area on the floor beneath them. Recessed surface mounted wide-angle LEDs may be a better choice! Just install one replacement "luminaire" where the existing light is and install any other...

. As a sideline to these comments, "Particle Board" or "Chipboard" flooring used in Australia differs from similar products in the UK in that each "long" edge of each 3600 mm long sheet has a groove which, on one side, comes with a strip of plastic "Yellow Tongue", This "Tongue" locks one...

The original Post included the statement I took this to mean that the OP was trying to add a light in parallel with the existing 2-Way switched light, wherever it may be - as (apparently) did others. If the object is to add a new Switch controlling a new Light by sourcing Line and Neutral at...

Please provide a link. Having read about the "Device for Connection of Luminaires" (DCL) , introduced to Europe in 2005, (according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_for_Connection_of_Luminaires ) I can see that it may be the cause of the demise of the "Maestro" Plug In Ceiling Rose...

You could replace them as required with units using LED Tubes (such as...

From your statement concerning "strappers", it appears that the 2-way switches are wired according to the following diagram https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:3-way_light_switch_diagrams#/media/File:3-way_switches_position_2_uni.svg (However, it may be that they are wired according...
