Hi
After a bit of advice & guidance if possible please?
I need to install 2 pendants light and both will have two switches attached. My first question would be should I connect this to the existing lighting circuit or as I have availability in the current CU to make a new circuit?
Secondly I have ripped old ceiling down which I will replace with plasterboard, is there a best practice of routing cables through joists? I have the option of simply tracing around where wall will meets new ceiling, is this acceptable to save drilling through joists?
Thirdly(!) I am also running cat5 cabling does the same apply to this, must it be in conduit?
Lastly Is there a best height to have switches from the floor, I have read 1200mm?
Cheers for any help!
