You mention a 'ring'. Lighting circuits are generally radial circuits

Just a minor point but a lighting circuit is generally not a radial circuit, it would normally be a loop-in circuit, similar to a ring but with the last light fitting not have a cable going back to the fuse box.

As I say, just a minor point.

You've just defined a radial circuit....!

I stand corrected!

My understanding of a radial circuit WAS what I found in house wired in 1947. The cable to each light fitting was taken from a single junction box measuring around 12" in diameter, like radials from a hub. I have always known lighting circuits as "loop-in" circuits.
