Should a table lamp circuit - ie 2A or 5A sockets controlled by a dimmer - be a fused spur from a power ring or a (fused?) spur from a lighting circuit? (It's not easy to give it it's own MCB in the consumer unit in this case).
The dimmer controlling it will be 2 gang, with ceiling lights.
I can see pros and cons: from power the con is that the dimmer would require 2 MCBs to isolate and could catch out the careless. From lighting, the whole lot would go out is there was a fault, and it could get close to 6A with other lighting on the same floor, plus, it would be easy to isolate the power circuit and expect the 2A/5A outlets to be off too...
But what's the 'proper' thing to do??
Thanks!!
