    OK to spur lights from ring main?

    Hi, I want to add wall lights to a room, but don't have access to the floor above, so can't easily access the lighting circuit. There is a power socket on the wall where I want the wall lights. Is it permissible to take a fused spur from the ring main for the wall lights? Regards, Glenn

    Spur off a spur in the loft.

    I have recently moved into a new build which has a passive input ventilation unit in the loft. This is cabled to an unswitched fcu which is spurred off a single socket which is in turn spurred off the ring. Am I right in thinking that you shouldn't have a spur off a spur?
