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

    Also, being careful which fittings are used. I was looking at some downlights in cef a few months ago, to replace some 50W halogens, and the MI's stated that only 7 fittings could be on the cct - the whole cct, not just one switch (don't recall the make/model though).

    Some LED fittings take huge inrush currents when turned on.  I suppose it would add a few pennies to the cost to add a surge limiter.






    But why would you want to go against MI's? Isn't that asking for trouble in the event of issues?
