Hi, I'm training to become fully qualified so know very little at the moment (just a domestic installer right now). I looked at my electrics and can see two lighting circuits not on either of my RCD's. I know this is not safe and wonder why, if I have two RCD's, are the lighting circuits not on them and also can I just add them to the busbar on each of the RCD's?

Sorry, I’m struggling to accept that statement without wincing.
Have we frightened off RedSpark99?
I did wonder how one could be a domestic installer whilst knowing "very little" 'cos I think that we need to know quite a lot.
If there was a split board with only 1 RCD, I would expect the lighting to be on the unprotected side; but with 2 RCDs, it seems odd to have any unprotected ways. That is unless it is a "high integrity" set up in which case RCBOs might have been used.
I am puzzled. If RedSpark99 is still interested, a photograph might help.
