Hi,

I'm in the process of updating and rewiring the dining room in our house - I
want to add a couple of 5A round pin socket outlets on the lighting circuit
to accomodate either freestanding floor lamps or perhaps shelf lighting in
the alcoves - decorating decision pending. I'm going to be replacing the
existing single switch at the room entrance to a double dimmer (with LV
compatible dimmers), one of which will control the main ceiling pendant, and
the other of which will control both 5a sockets.

My question - which I suppose is not related only to what I'm doing - is
what's the best way to connect the cable to the two 5a sockets. As I see it
there are two options: a) serial or b) parallel. Which is the correct one?

Many thanks in advance,

Tom
