If you go for an emergency light fitting like that which Andy described, then it makes most sense when powered from the lighting circuit that feeds the lights that normally illuminate the consumer unit.
That way when you lose power to that circuit the light turns itself on for you, and you can still find the CU even though the other lights on that floor are tripped.
You were the one offering advice without being fully aware of the OP's circumstances and requirements.
Butch Drivel and the Hacksaw Kid?
Dribble in a previous guise had to ask here on how to wire an intermediate switch - not that he actually knew it was called that. So any of his 'advice' on electrical matters should be taken with that in mind.
He is taking a cable into a CU with a spare mcb slot. All he has to do is buy an mcb and keep that circuit separate. Neat and easy and not ramming too many cables into one terminal. The professional way of doing it.
Mr Cranium, you should stop telling porkies for lent.
It may be that is should not be separate in the first place. I gave you an example of when this would be poor design. It is easy to think of plenty of other cases where not having a separate circuit makes more sense.
It all depends on what the circuit extension is for. Since you don't know, it is better to stop guessing.
You have never wired a modern CU have you? Get real.
It is not a good idea to have a stray socket on the wrong circuit, as it can lead to electrocution when the wrong circuit is disabled. Subdivision of circuits should be thought about and executed on a logical system. You don't just put a single socket on its own MCB just because you can.
Have you ever installed a modern consumer unit? You could probably "ram" 10
2.5mm cables into one MCB. They are designed to swallow enourmous bundles of cable. 3x2.5mm won't trouble it one bit.Christian.
Pat-n-Dave, I have wired everything.
Yep.
When in glass houses, stop throwing stones:
Pat-n-dave, you are a fool. I know you are from Essex, but that was to add value for the OP. Anyone can see that.

New Years Eve, so the home have allowed them on the pop.
The message from "Dave Plowman (News)" contains these words:
Just doing research wasn't he? ISTR that was his excuse for asking what latent heat was but I can't recall why he asked if metres cubed was a measure of velocity. :-)
Anyone can see you are a lying retard.
There is no shame in admitting you did not know. Say thanks to Dave for explaining it to you. You might even earn a modicum of respect if you do.
Go on, be man enough!
Yes, and the original question is here:
That wasn't quite the question - it was "Is this linear speed in cubic metres per second?" and it came up in a discussion on pipe sizing:

Roger you really must work at your problem as new year resolution..

You really must get yourself sorted.
Amazing, pat-n-dave, amazing. Are you wearing your Chav Essex clothes you got for Christmas?
