You should do the 2nd,
As you can't spur from a spur. If you do need to spur again you need to do
it from another part on the ring.

Cheers

One further question then

Is it OK to branch from the fused spur

IE

Light unit <------- Fused Spur ---------> Light Unit

or should you do

Fused Spur ----> Light Unit -------> Light Unit

Regards

Ben
