Simple Question - 6 Fluorescent lights on 1 switch

[SKY]

Hi All

Got to wire up 6 fluorescent lights over the next few days to 1 switch.
Is the easiest way as follows.

Feed from CU to switch

Feed from switch to lamp 1 then daisy chain from light 1 - 2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6?

Many Thanks

Simon

any reason why? don't you find this easier for later alterations rather than doing loop-in?

(a question, not a moan)

I just don't see the need for it to be there thats all why do something you don't have to! it's a personal taste i suppose!

feed the switch run it through a double pole , then straight up to the lights,,,hey do what you find easiest ,,,most new builds houses are all switch fed as ive found out talking to house bashers the other day..

i now work industrial, but worked several companies house bashing. The companies always specified neutral at switch for things like customer later deciding they want wall lights instead of fishing the ceilings unneccessarily, aswell as the switch being the most easily accessable place for the joint. Just don't see the benifit of loop-in. Each to their own...

whats this continuing obsession with neutrals at switches?.....is it in an enclosure: YES.....is it accessable: YES.....

Does the switch box have a fixed connection for a neutral NO
