Hi all.
At my house, we have some outside floodlights ( 3*500 w halogen ) which were obviously retro-fitted by the previous owner.
These have been added to an existing lighting circuit with the obvious result that the breaker must have been tripping.
I was looking at the CU today, and I see that the other lighting ccts are
5A, but this one has had a 20A breaker installed!I intend to correct this now I've noticed!
There's a spare way on the CU I can use for a dedicated circuit, that's no problem. However, the switch for the floodlights is a double switch, with one switch operating some internal lights ( and 2-way at that ), the other operating the rogue floodlights.
Is it permitted to have a dual light switch fed from seperate circuits? It might lead to someone incorrectly assuming that the switch was isolated when only 1 cct was isolated, was my concern.
