    2gang light switch. One from lighting ring, one from socket

    Now you've said it makes sense. In doing today, lighting circuit wasn't fed from crawl up like how I somehow presumed but was the standard way of first floor down. In removing everything for a wall light that I've taken out has allowed slack on the cables at switch to make the void across to...

    2gang light switch. One from lighting ring, one from socket

    Thanks for taking time to explain, I just have a dislike when forums blankly put "get the professional in" I'm posting to learn the regs/correct way/technique etc. I'm an event/production technician, I'm much more comfortable wiring up 63/3, pulling genies through fields and plonking down...

    2gang light switch. One from lighting ring, one from socket

    May I ask why that is your opinion? Wagos are usually ok for inaccessible joins, unless there's anything small than a wagobox light I can't fit it in the existing back box or attach it next to wall due to cable length. Suggestion of blanking plate and grommet entrance is really no different to...

    2gang light switch. One from lighting ring, one from socket

    In short that... My mistake probably not helping discriptions. I want to use a multi gang light switch on two seperate lights. One is part of the lighting circuit in the ceiling. One is powered from a 13amp socket (that is part of the GF ring mains). To simplify terms and the process, I want...

    2gang light switch. One from lighting ring, one from socket

    Are you allowed to, under regs, use a 2gang light switch where one light is powered from the lighting ring and one from a 13amp socket? Essentially one of the switch's replaces the in cable switch.. Looking to install some lights on a bookcase where there will be a void between wall and case...
