Can anyone give me some advice on future-proofing a kitchen wiring
install for lighting?
I am installing 8 mains downlighters into the kitchen which will hang
off a two CBUS 1A dimmer channels.
If I wanted to move to dimmable CFL's in the future and providing that
the C-BUS hardware was available to do this, what cables do I need to
lay now.
I have already wired using 2.5 T&E in case I want to go LV for
whatever reason using a common tranny in the garage, but I understand
dimmable CFL's will require a 3rd wire, what is this for, heating element?
To play it safe now would it be advisable to lay some CAT5 along the
T&E? or should I be using 3 core cable?
Any ideas whats best to do now for the future?
