Hello everyone.
I have a diy project. I need lighting a 280x20 metal building with wall packs. It will be 14 fixtures 50watt each. I would like to know if I can wire it this way:

Circuit 1: pendant light (centre of main ceiling)
Circuit 2: LED tape and LED downlights (in dropped ceiling with tape in coving and downlights in the dropped ceiling)
Circuit 3: bedside light left
Circuit 4: bedside light...
I am wiring 2 outlets in the ceiling to control 2 plug-in florescent shop lights in my garage. The 3 ways are at each side of the garage at the 2 entry doors. The way I have it wired right now, both lights come on at either switch but turn off if either is unplugged. I would like both outlets...
I have a question on wiring to make sure I am doing it correctly. I plan on adding a new GFCI/AFCI 20 amp circuit breaker to my box and run the wires to the first 2 outlets in a 2 gang box I am installing. I am also installing 2 other 2 outlet boxes. This is in a finished garage. I know how...

I have two questions regarding lighting circuits. The first in is , is it bad practice to put two lighting circuits on on breaker?
The second is similar but can you ‘spur’ of a ceiling rose which is mid run of the circuit as many times as you want considering VD and maximum current draw/Zs...

Hi does anybody know of single / double PVC back boxes that have multiple 20mm knockouts like metal clad? Or are plain with no knockouts ?
The ones with one 20mm and trunking knockouts don't really work as when cutting the 20mm hole the trunking entry normally splits even when bracing it.
Had a bit of a brain freeze. Got to go and do an inspection on a property with 2 consumer units, the 2nd fed from the first on a 50A MCB.
Let's say theoretically I get 0.2 for the Ze on the main board, then 0.3 for the Zdb at the second board and 0.2 for R1+R2 on a ring final on a 32A MCB.
Is...
