Hi all,
New to the forum so please be kind! I'm starting a rewire of my home and have decided for a multitude of reasons to go with wiring the lighting using the 2 plate method(smart light switches and the like mostly requiring neutral). I was intending and can't see any negatives to doing it slightly differently in that I wasn't going to take the feed for following on differently switched lights from the switch, instead I plan to supply one junction box from the consumer unit and then spur off for each room's lighting (may install a second jb depending on how congested the first is looking).
In doing this I would avoid there ever being a need for more than 3 cables in a single light switch, i.e. worst case scenario i'd have permanent supply (from jb), switched supply to light fitting and lastly in some cases a 3C & CPC for 2 Way switching. Plus in my mind make future installs easier, i.e. any additional feed coming from one central point.
Can anyone think of any good reason not to do the above? Can't see anything in the regs to suggest this would be a problem?
Cheers all!
