[QUOTE="binky, post: 528423, member: 490"] think you need to retype that comment :). Ok, so a double socket is rated at 20A, lights, say 3 or 5A fuse (in reality probably 60W maw) to theoretical load less than 26Amps that 2.5mm cable can handle, dependent on installation method. It's probably a non-issue - C3 in my book. Worth noting, but not dangerous. I rewired a flat many years ago, when I lifted the floorboards I found the cooker cable had 2 sockets spurred off it in different places, fed the cooker, and then the 7kW electric shower on the other side of the wall behind the cooker :eek:. Had worked that way very happily for many years without ever blowing the fuse. [/QUOTE]
