Good Morning everyone,
Was hoping for some advice from a sparky if possible.
I'm redoing my living room and currently have two hanging lights from a single switch, which I would like to change to 6 spotlights, which I wouldn't think would be a problem.
But also I'd like to add 2 wall lights in the alcoves either side of the fireplace, operated by a new switch. I am building in built cupboards for either side and on one side I have a double socket. Would this be easier for me for create a spur from the double socket to an FCU and then to a switch, followed by the first light and then the second light, or would it be easier or better for me to break off the current lighting circuit down to a switch and then to the lights?
If I go down the FCU route, will 1mm twin and earth be sufficient from the double socket to the FCU and then the lighting?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Alan
