When installing many 240v ir lamps in a close proximity off one anther, would it be best to pick up mains localy?
Or install a ring main???

Probably best to get a sparky, which you would have to thanks to Part P if you were installing a new circuit. If you want to do it yourself you can only add the lamps to existing circuits.

You could just take one spur from a local ring, terminating in a switched fused spur, and then loop all the IR's into that spur.

Or, you could install one spur for every IR onto a circuit local to each unit.

Or, you could run a complete new circuit back to the CU\DB, but this is inside the scope of Part P so you'd need a registered sparky to do the job.

Part P only applies to domestic premises, otherwise it needs to be in accordance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and BS7671:2004.

Ah, yes, there is that. :Whip: Ignore the Part P bit then! You can do any of the three options yourself.
