    Lights wired into 16A radial circuit

    I've discovered that one of the bedroom lights in our 1930's 3 bed semi have been wired (I guess as a spur) into the upstairs 16A radial circuit.

    Radial Circuit

    Recently i have wired a small dwelling house. I have used 2.5 mm Wire for a radial circuit of 2 double and 2 single sockets. (probably the cable length of 35 m) I am a bit conscious to know whether it will work for longer time. or i will need to make it a ring circuit. WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST?
