    As above. and if it was sat on a combustible surface, as appears in the piccy, at 500watt there would eventually be a bit of smoke about the place. a1Spark

    Extending 3 light switches to New Positions

    Nice idea Tom1 If he did that then the existing switch position is retained and 3-core & earth could be run to each new office switch, resulting in no concealed connection dilemma. By the way it appears to me that the neutrals are joined with the old screwits type connectors, dont think...

    Mwc

    Are you sure Batty ? I think either MWC or EIC can be issued for alterations to an existing installation...I dont think it is a requirement that a new circuit has to be installed before the EIC can be used. What do others think ? a1Spark
