The light in my 'fuse box' cupboard on the ground floor is wired from

from the downstairs hall light to replace it. :-)

That is one of my tricks.

Yup - although mine is part of the cellar lights, so is on its own circuit
anyway. I've already got more than 6 amps worth of ground floor lighting,
so had to shed the easy stuff anyway.

I suppose if the hall and stairs lights business *really* worried you it
would be ok - and possibly a good idea - to have them all on their own
circuit too. Cable is, after all, cheap.

Thanks Dave.

It's not that it really worries me but that last suggestion is not a
bad one at all. I could put the cupboard light and a couple of others
on it as well.

Cheers and thanks for the advice.
