[QUOTE="Spark101, post: 508542, member: 33693"] I have come across a setup in my neighbours garage he has asked for clarity on. He has: A 2.5mm cable from the back of a double socket on the final ring main to a 13 amp Switched Fuse Spur. From the 13 amp spur a 2.5 min cable to a double socket. From that socket there is a 2.5 mm cable to another 3 amp Switched fused spur. From that spur he has 1.5 mm cable to two lights. Can’t work out if this complies or not? I think it does until the lights on the 3 amp as this is now a radial from a fused spur from a ring. Although tbh the lights are low volts pulling next to nothing. Said he has had it in for 10 years with no issues. Just a weird setup! Any advice would be appreciated? [/QUOTE]
