Same here. Power sockets are also on 20A breakers and use 2.5mm˛ wire, while lights are on 16A breakers and use 1.5mm˛ wire. Up to 8 power sockets may be implemented on one circuit that's protected with a 20A breaker. If there are more, you need to create an additional circuit.
Also, ALL circuits are RCD protected. There are 2 sorts: 30mA for the "wet" rooms, like bathrooms, kitchens and the room with the washing machine (basically, anywhere where there's water), and 300mA for the "dry" rooms.
