    Distribution Board Lables

    Do many of you come across new install distribution boards which don't have any RCD testing labels, last test and next test labels that come with every board you buy, or circuit labels? I've come across loads lately and it bugs me like mad.

    Lighting distribution circuit OK?

    Is there any reason under 17th why a lighting circuit (notionally a radial) shouldn't have a "distribution" tapped off it part way along, rather than looping in at each switch or luminaire? - By this I mean a junction box, which then serves power to sets of luminaires and switches off to the...
