    Ring Final Circuit - spurs only

    I read that it is against the regs that a ring final circuit cannot be just a ring with with spurs off it. In short, a ring must have sockets on it which double up as junctions. I find that hard to believe.

    Wiring my own Ring floodlight

    Is it possible to use a cable to wire a Ring floodlight? In the location i haven't got any wiring, but i can feed it through a window and plug it into a socket on the other side. In America they've got adapters, but in the UK they don't exist it seems. Thanks.
