New ring circuit from socket

[Iggifer]

ohhhhh I didn't realise riveralt drew that diagram, I thought it was one the OP had posted.

What am I not seeing in this which is causing people to get so agitated:...

If that's what he's done it's fine, but his diagram is nothing like that

Indeed - but I'm not clear as to what makes BAS think that what he posted is what the OP has had done!

Kind Regards, John

The only drawing I could see was riveralt's, nothing from the OP.

No not my drawing BAS - After the OP offered a diagram he uploaded it but seemed not sure how to complete that task - so I turned the upside down picture the right way up and posted it for him.

I was going by this:

Can I put 1 of the live wires out the socket into a junction box follow it around and go back into the same socket ?

Not sure how that statement corresponds to your drawing.

That was my initial impression, glad I was right

You mean that, for some reason, you were unable to see this (the OP's picture, rotated by riveralt), which is apparently what the OP's installation now looks like:

?? ... are you happy with that arrangement?

Isn't interesting how BAS can twist even the simplest of helpful actions.

where is the 'lectricity coming from? This is just one big loop with branches off for the lights

and good god man, learn to use the quote button

I can but 'assume' (always dangerous, exceptionally so in this thread!) that the two 'dead end' wires heading off to the left of the diagram (one at top, t'other at bottom) go to the rest of the ring.

I will learn how to use a computer 1 day.

Maybe I will put some Christmas lights on the branches.

I messed up with my picture but you can see that it is right now so let's put this one to bed .

It's been fun but I must learn that I can not draw pictures and post them wrong because everyone will go nuts.

LOL.

From what I understand amidst all the confusion, I don't actually doubt that 'it works' - but that doesn't mean that it is conventional, sensible or even necessarily even safe. It could well 'work', even if there were exposed live bare conductors all over the place - but that would not be 'recommended'!
