Discuss Light circuit wired as a ring in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Given what you've said here...

He also advised me that as he had recently had the whole house redecorated and painted and he did not want me to start removing light fittings - switches etc for fear of decrotive damage which makes fault finding impossible.

I think the 'Is it a ring or isn't it' conundrum is the least of your problems.

:wink5:
 
there is no need for a lighting ring but can be used if you wish to do so some electricians make rings out of lighting as well, in my opinion only needed if a very large circuit. Personally i would calculate volage and load and use thicker wire if necessary as opposed to ring.
