So what you are asking us to believe is that every light fitting in a UK home is individually fused at the consumer unit, as in a radial circuit?

Perhaps your new year resolution might be to only post informative, relevant and accurate information. It will save you a deal of typing...

Radial circuits can feed more than one point.

A radial circuit does not have to be limited to one device. UK lighting is a number of radial circuits (often two, one for upstairs and one for downstairs) each of which has a number of lights connected to it. It is sometimes mistakenly called a lighting ring but it lacks the single attribute which would make it a ring circuit

- the end does not come back to join the start as it does with the power ring circuit.

No, what he is saying is that there is only a single wire coming from the consumer unit, not two, as in a ring.

Yep. A number sockets supplying x number of rooms on one circuit.

Mine does. And many others I have seen around too. Fans are now taken off the lighting circuit, so a ring maybe installed. Many of these lighting circuits have lots of downlighters, etc, which loads it all up, so they take the end back to the CU making the ring.

Try *10*, about one for every large room and a few more for smaller rooms and corridors..IIRC you are limited to a certain amount of sockets per spur...

each of which has a number of lights

You hang around bodgers in this country too, then.

Or perhaps the regulations should be re-written to cope with your weird ideas.

You were mistaken. Maybe you don't know what a ring is?

Which would be pointess, as the conductors are in any case rated at 2-3 times the protective device.

You assume too much given dribble's electrical 'knowledge' He's avidly reading the 'nail for fuse' thread...

You need to eff off. This is for your own good.
