Hi Ben,



The best way is to common your 3 circuit up in the MCB and use the larger
terminal block on the neutral and earth blocks.



As for the number of runs, your better to split the lighting into as many
circuit as possible. So that you have more control over your lighting.



Ben

I am trying to balance wiring each light socket individually and trying to
keep the bundle of cables down to a reasonable amount.

If I commoned up at the C-Bus module do you just wire 3 wires into a single
unit or do you use some sort of Junction box?

Regards
Ben
