Security Light

one thing that worries me with the radial is that i was taught that MCB's can on overcurrent hold 1.5 times it's rating for up to 3 hours and therefore a 20A breaker may cause a 2.5 to heat up, this is maybe why the old rule suggested only three sockets?

sure but it is a known fact that cables can stand short duration overcurrent (most risk from overcurrent comes from conductors slowly migrating through soft but not fully melted insulation)
