Workshop socket layout

[DomP]

I'm at the stage of laying out my sockets and lighting in my workshop, I plan on running 25mm conduit but cant decide whether to run it horizontally from socket to socket or across the top of the wall and drop down to each double socket. What are everyone's thoughts?

Spacing I thought 12-1500mm between each socket and at minimum of 1200mm from the floor.

I am not sure about whether vertical or horizontal is compliant or really matters - but I would plan on double the number of sockets/halve the spacing.

Any machine may additionally require a task light. If you have machines on castors because of space constraints you don't want wires trailing across the floor to a spare socket. Finally, whilst some machines may take up 1200-1500mm, some like bench grinders may be much closer.
