Is it not required? I thought the lights had to go from one light to the next. I didn't want to drill more holes in the joists than needed (ie. go horizontally across between those top two downlights) so thought I needed to still run that cable?

OK will run shaver and extractor fan off the lighting. Re: downlights, I've had a rear dormer constructed on the roof (contractor did the shell of the loft rear dormer and I'm doing the rest myself). Hence there are two light switches in the bedroom - one goes to the 3 lights in the pitched...
