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?


My God! Essex wit.
