OK

All of the information is in the WIKI or one of the associated links (STICKYs).

Here's where the info is http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=37582


PS Lighting circuits are radials circuits not "rings"

Yes it is possible.
You need a feed that you can take phase, neutral and CPC(earth)
Cable that is suitable for current rating of circuit and environment that it will be routed.
If you look at Wiki Projects you will find some useful advice.
Not only on methods of installation, safety but also requirements and law.
I would start here to look at the configuration of the circuit you require.

Once you have had a good look at those and got some understanding on how this circuits works, come back and ask questions.
Otherwise you will get told off and hunted down by the big bad wolf
