Default Cowboy wiring - grumble, grumble, grumble.

All those sockets should be on a 32A ring.


They might be better, but not a case of 'should' really. Assuming
they come within the floor area recommendations (20 Sqm?)


I used "should" not "must"... If only because people expect sockets to
be on a 32A ring these days and thus expect to be able to load that
ring up to 7+kW... And if it is 20sqM then thats just about a single
room or do you mean a space 20m x 20m = 400m^2?

They don't look as if they are serving areas where they are likely
to be presenting a large load - assuming nothing like an 3 kW
electric fan heater is going to be often used.


The OP might not but future owners?

My only concern here is what size are we talking about with these
'thin' wires - the op has referred to thin wires as being used in
the lights the rings and the radial.


That bothered me a little bit as well.
