[QUOTE="PoloMint, post: 245129, member: 175235"] Wait a minute, are you just planning on cutting the lighting circuit and wiring this thing in? If so, you might run into problems if your ligthing circuit is a ring (little ones aren't normally I believe). If it is a ring it would mean you would have: fuse box > UPS > all lights > fuse box instead of: fuse box > all lights > fuse box. In a powercut with one end of the ring connected to the UPS and the other ending up back and the fuse box you might inadvertently end up trying to power the rest of your house, and street, backwards through your lighting ring. And if your UPS moans about your monitor think what it will say about that. Of course I could be talking nonsense, and that might only be a potential problem if the lighting circuit is indeed a ring. Anyway how often do you get a powercut? [/QUOTE]
