hello, when wiring lighting in singles is there a problem with taking an emergency feed for the llights from the switch as well as a looped switch feed to another switch which is on the same circuit but switches another emergency light separately?? (instead of taking the feed for that switch from the emergency light)

i thought it would be hard to visulise, the key switch is next to the normal light switch (2gang) in one room, which does them lights.
Theres a separate switch in a different room with a loop feed going to it from the (2gang) switch, it is still on the same circuit but switches separately?
so effectively you've got two permanent feeds coming out of the 2 gang switch one for the emergency lights and one for the separate switch.

There's no problem in using a loop feed and a permanent feed in one cable as it is the same thing. But as Dave says, you have to consider the keyswitches. Testing one EL will turn off the permanent supply to the other. So it depends on the design of the building whether this is ok. It usually is.
