I am installing. Now that you have
learnt the uses of these different
types of circuit can you advise me
on which circuit to use in these
different situations (see next

6. I own a hotel and I want you to install a light for
me along the long corridor. The guests don’t like
walking from their room to the end of the
corridor in darkness.
I want you to install lights so that I can see when
I walk up the stairs. I have no lights on the stairs
at the moment and it is a health hazard as I
keep falling.
I want to put lots of lights around my workshop
but they all need to be very bright so that I can
see my work.
I want a very bright light in my study so that I
can read easily and also lights outside my study
so that people know I am working in there.
