[pewter]

did a 'Smart' house once,

every area to be switched had its own circuit back to a 'iLight' dimming board by the consumer unit. Was actually 4 or 6 ilight dimminng units fed from one of the 3 consumer units. Some rooms had 1-4 lighting circuits depending on its lighting, each room had a switch with loads of buttons fed by cat5 that could be programmed to switch anything within the house....... unfortunnatly a power cut would sometimes bugger up the iLight programmer and they would be stuck with some lights not working properly until a teenager showed up with a laptop. Luckily it was done just before LED stuff was all the rage and became obsolete within 10 years.

So that's 16 circuits you need to identify precisely what there were each before you could start or was it well documented?

 

[Geoff1946]

Sounds like a French electrician, except for the rings. They tend to have massive industrial looking panels with lots of separate circuits.

Rolls itself up,and awaits collection

when it has been cut it is returned

surely you have seen the wagons with the freshly cut turf on them?

 

[roys]

I pour whisky on my grass, it then comes up half cut.

That's why the lawn socket was installed to power the lawn mower

Obviously all on RCBOs as it's the only way to do it properly in my opinion

Of course they are all rcbos what else would. They be 3036 fuses
