[QUOTE="NozSpark, post: 358049, member: 601"] There is no reason to wire a socket circuit as a ring,,, it can be more practical to wire them as radials.. You really need to think about the loads before designing a circuit... Bedrooms and living rooms tend to use next to ****** all when you think about it The regs don't state a maximum number of sockets that a ring or any other circuit may have... There is some guidance that states how many sockets any particular room should have... IMHO an living room should have a double in each corner and adjacent to the door and an extra 1 or 2 being the TV.. If there's a long wall then I'd put one every 3m [/QUOTE]
