Well im sure its not the first time its been asked (yes ive searched the forums). If only the rules were clear.. some people say they are and all of a sudden a forum thread turns into 5 pages long.... says it all really!
Just refitting bathroom suite and moving a central heating towel rail. Also installed a zone 2 compatible metal mirror cabinet/shaver outlet unit. Zone 2 also has an IP44 240v lighting bar (metal) with 5 spots.
On a joist above the bathroom is a JB, here the upstairs lighting cable stops off before looping through each of the ceiling roses in the bedrooms. All done in 1.5mm.
Bathroom light and cord switch simply replaced the old horrible stuff. Currently I have connected the mirror cabinet in 1.5 and used the T&E earth back to the JB. I plan to earth the towel rail water supplies and bath/sink water supplies with some 6mm and take this up to the JB. Does the mirror cabinet need a sperate earth in addition to the one in the T&E. Not sure what it would add as it would end up at the same place.
A spark told me it is not practicle to terminate the supplimentry earth in the type of ceiling light I have, very tight... hence the JB just next to it.
Does the supplimentry bond need to be one long contiunious conductor? No plastic fittings or pipe used. Compression and push fit copper only.
Can of worms here we come.....
Cheers.
