Anyone know if there is a convention/good practice when wiring
lighting circuits for halls/stairs/landings in terms of which circuit
they should be placed on.


Ie, should they all be on the 'upstairs lights' circuit, the
'downstairs lights' cct or split between the two depending on
location. Of course, the latter would mean that going to at least one
light switch would be power from both up and down lighting ccts. Is
that a problem?


I keep the lights relative to the floors. This means, of course, some two
way switches are by nature 'out of their zone'. To me this is safer - it's
more likely someone would fiddle with a fitting and switch off that
floor's MCB first without realising it didn't cover that hall light than
play around with two way switches.
