I've run the lighting and ring mains wiring together in several locations -
no problem with interference etc. Have a look at:

for some pics of enclosures, wiring etc :-)

54way !!!
Boy they must be big !

I am totally rewiring so not really necessary to incorporate with
existing (except for existing switch and socket positions).

I fully intend to have a master CU with breakers and feeds
to sub-enclosures with the x10 bits in, so they will be
seperated from this pointof view.

What I meant was when running the cable around the house
(through holes in joists etc).

The old wiring though had ring and lighing feeds all runing
along the joists together, and sharing holes when running at
right angles to the joists.
Is this still okay, or would I be better toseprate them...

Cheers,
John.
