cheers extend the ring then fuse spur of ring for lighting

Thats the way I've just done mine, though if I had, had access to a lighting circuit probably would have kept the power and lights on separate circuits for discrimination but that would have been in an ideal world.

thanks penny are u a spark

I'm afraid so .

what size fuse wud you put in the spare of the ring main for lights. so you would extend ring main from a socket. or could you take a spare of the ring for conservatory sockets then spur of that for light

I put 5amp fuses in the spurs for lighting, as for spurring off the extension ring for the conservatory it depends how big the conservatory is and how many sockets are going in, mine was a 45 square meter one so I ran a separate ring main for it . If possible I would always try and extend the ring but don't see anything wrong with a spur off the extension circuit and then another subsequent spur for the lights.
