Rewiring - Some questions, don't want to get done again...

bad idea to shoot lights out. :
1. you can't eat them.
2. as a 12 year old i got copped by the local beat flatfoot for shooting out a streetlight. a clout round the head hurts. these days, it would be an asbo and /or an electronic tag, coupled with the warning " don't do it again". some deterrent?

Today, Politically Correct Plod would tell you that you are a naughty boy in a calm voice, they would then give you a hug, tell you its societies fault you are misbehaving and send you on a nice holiday to make you feel better, plus make you promise never to be naughty again.

1. He said he will loop at the switch,
but is one preferable. This one
he uses Wago terminals in the back box of the light?

WAGO


2. external lights said he will use a junction box

No junction boxes required, could be looped from a switch

3. consumer unit is ok, not much space to add more circuits so suggested I can see a larger consumer unit being needed later on

Just add a smaller one next to it later, if required

4. He did say he would prefer to do it after the boiler has been done, as he doesn't trust them to not ruin his work or bugger something up... lol.

Good plan

Others may agree or disagree, I don't care.

Those wagos look better than tape. Seems like a good thing.

Didn't know you could loop from a switch, I will ask him.

Good idea about the Consumer Unit, didnt know you could do that.
