Whew - a lot to digest in one page!

How about splitting it into sections, maybe

  • general layout of installation (CU, rings, radials, outside feed etc)
  • power - how many sockets to install etc
  • lighting - choice of types etc

Just my £0.02'orth :-) --John Stumbles 12:46, 18 December 2006 (GMT)

Will think about that one later.

Have changed the outdoor MICC sentence, as all outdoor cables are prone to failure from water ingress, the difference with MICC is its hygroscopic, ie will suck water vapour in out of the air if it gets the chance. NT 15:47, 4 January 2007 (GMT)

Categorising sounds like good formatting in principle, but what when something falls into 2 or more categories? NT 08:48, 5 January 2007 (GMT)

I know, that's bound to crop up. I guess you just put it in one and have a link from another. --John Stumbles 13:22, 5 January 2007 (GMT)

Or perhaps have another section (eg 'misc') for pieces that are relevant to more than one category, and a link from each of those cats to misc. NT 06:56, 6 January 2007 (GMT)

Why the didactic "dimmed PIR lights are a gross waste" statement. This is surely opinion ?

Dimmed PIR lights: May I suggest we discuss it on uk.d-i-y, because then what we say will be subject to input, correction, etc from other regulars. I'm happy to support my belief that they are a truly bad idea, but would rather others had the opportunity to correct if I'm wrong etc. Would sooner this article represent considered input of many members instead of mine and yours alone. 62.253.32.4 15:39, 9 January 2007 (GMT)
