hi sparx i hav just fitted a spare skt of an original skt which had 2 cables going in so i run another cable 2.5mm into back of socket which now has 3 cables as i know this is the max. allowed i waz wondering if it is possible to run another spare via a 30amp junction box of 1 of the 2 original cables as i am hoping to run a double spare skt under my kitchen units for pluggin in some downlights im wanting to fit.the 2 original cables are surfaced mounted in mini trunkin so wud be easy to connect into if this is at all acceptible any advise wud be greatly appreciated hope this makes sense to you THANX bazza
