Switched spurs on a lighting circuit, is it allowed?
 

My kitchen lighting is at the end of the downstairs radial lighting circuit and what I want to do is take the lighting mains into a three gang switch and run three switched feeds (spurs) out to three lights. Is this allowed in the current regs?

P.S. does anyone know how to post to more than one group at the same time with this new-fangled groups system?

Yes. Lighting radials can branch anywhere you like, and change wiring
style mid circuit as well if you want.

Yup, get this:

Install, and configure thus:

I suggested (somewhat tongue in cheek) that a way of being able to cross
post, was to install thunderbird and use a news server rather than
titting about posting using a search engine!
