Some light switches have the loop in them with a terminal to suit,
not the ceiling rose. I thing Hagar do one. Some Sparks loop the
lighting wire to each light switch box with a terninal block inside,
then a wire from the block to the switch and a wire to the ceiling
rose. This is common in old flats being rewired. Have a deep switch
box and all is well. No playing about with a loop at a ceiling rose
- all in the accessible switch boxes.

But wasteful of cable.


This senile person hasn't got a clue.


Just shows you've never done a practical thing in your life. Anyone who
has knows how much extra cable is needed if you use the switch box to do
the loop in and out. But carry on in your fantasy world.


Perhaps dribble installs all his switch boxes on the ceiling so as not
to use more cable?
