Ring Circuit Question

Hi all, In my house I have a ring main which covers two floors, from which I have created two spurs with 2.5mm cable. I am drawing 3000W on each spur and on the ring sockets probably around 500w making a total of 6500w. Do you think this is dangerous as it is exceeding the 24A rating on 2.5mm...

Outdoor socket

Hi.I want to put 2 christmas silhouettes at the front of my house. I'm just wondering if the socket kits you can buy from B&Q with the socket, cable & RCD plug are safe to use? I've read some stories saying they're not. Thanks
