RE: 'Structured' electric wiring

Ole

If your looking for so much lighting control and you're doing a full
rewire how about C-bus - it will simplify what you want - you'll also
have less mains cabling as all switches are wired in CAT5.

You mention dimmers for sockets - I assume you mean 5a not 13a power
sockets ??

I've used cable tray to run all my cabling in the loft of my bungalow,
it makes it much easier to wire, and you don't have to mess about in the
existing fibreglass.

Yes, im sure most electricians would do it for you.

Subject: [ukha_d] 'Structured' electric wiring


We're in the process of buying a house which needs some serious
renovation. Since it needs rewiring I thought I should install dimmers
and relays in an enclosure together with the consumer unit and run
radial circuits from each dimmer/relay channel.

Is it recommended to use dimmers for every light point, and a separate
dimmer channel for each socket?

I'd planned to use standard ring circuit in the kitchen.

With all that cabling its getting difficult get it through floor joists,
I thought I should use wire trays in the loft and G hooks in the
crawlspace does that sound sensible?

Is this something the electrician around the corner would typically sign
up for, or do I need to find some specialists?
