[QUOTE="Barx, post: 75923, member: 121"] Wiring lights 3-plate (for those that dont know, this is using twin with feeds at fitting ;) ). Spec requires an outside light (bulkhead) to be installed. Now, to me it seems bad practice to run the loops through the outside light as per the other fittings. I haven't particularly heard anything on the subject either way, just something popping in my head saying this just isn't right. If the light was ever removed or ripped off by a vandal then a number of lights in the property could become dead. All the other lads at work; sparks and mates dont seem to have a problem with this. Personally I run a single neutral from nearest fitting and a single line/earth from given switch (obviously making sure there is perm live there first.) I dont know. Am I just being over cautious. What do you guys think. [/QUOTE]
