Hello I'm doing a basic garage installation tomoz trying to get experience. Ring main and lighting circuit and a electrician will then connect it to the small separate consumer unit for me, the ring main will be a 32 amp and that's done , I have a 6mcb for lighting, I would like to run 2 basic pendant light fittings one way switch inside and 2 outside lights oneway switch outside, will I be able to do this all on one circuit or can I get away with wireing 2 separate lighting circuits in to 1 mcb, the other way I gess I could do it is just use a 2 way switch and just wire all the lights together. I'm just trying to get some help and advice for the best way to do this lighting circuit

The terms you are using do not make any sense, are you here in the U.S.A. ?

If you are going to have an electrical do the wiring, then you should let the electrician perform the necessary calculations and wiring plan.

I am curious as to why you are looking for "advice for the best way to do this lighting circuit" when you are having an electrician do this work. Is he not capable or experienced?
