Numerous Lights from one switch

Hi All I was wondering if using the attached diagram would this be a good design for switching on numerous number of lights in one switch. I assume it is in some form of daisy chain. Its the one that I have rung?.Jimmy

    At one level , all lighting circuits look like that, but be aware that the wiring itself looks nothing like the circuit diagram - a circuit shows what is connected to what, but not how - much in the way that the London underground map is not representative of the direction or length of the lines between stations, just the order they are connected. (compare the tube map to the A to Z map if you do not believe me.)

    Firstly all wires are really in pairs - a pair to the switch, a pair to the lamp fitting (with earth). Secondly you want flow and return  currents to be more or less side by side to avoid creating magnetic fields, and EMC issues.There are a few common  real circuit layouts

    most real installations are one of these or a mixture.
