what the deuceI think the answer is yes due to it being in a bathroom, anywhere else and It would be ok.
To turn the light on and off?Out of interest why are you putting pull switch in bathroom Batty
Yep, as it is not a like for like switch change.Is there not a light switch already for bathroom, so is this more of a case of changing a wall plate for a pull switch, (or have I read this wrong) and would people still consider this as needing RCD?
would be no need for a pull cord outside the bathroom.in honesty if they said no to the extra for rcbo, would you change the switch regardles for cash. (put the pull cord outside the bathroom) ; \
your altering the wiring, not changing an accessory, so work would then need done to 17th. if this was in any other room, then your new wiring would not be in a wall, and therefore not need RCD'd, but in this case will because its in a bathroomIs there not a light switch already for bathroom, so is this more of a case of changing a wall plate for a pull switch, (or have I read this wrong) and would people still consider this as needing RCD?
I know what you mean! I've tried to argue that if the downlights are IP rated and double insulated then the wiring isn't actually in the bathroom - it's above it! A decision for your conscience!It just doesn't strike me as particularly altering electrical characteristics of circuit enough to merit RCDing, assuming all things are cross-bonded and generally upto 16th edition. However, I do have some bathroom lights to alter (changing to downlights), so if anyone knows where to get an RCBO for a 20 year old Proteus CU, (or if anyone has tried this and failed cos they don't fit), I would like to know. Plan B, RCD alongside CU is probaly better.
Hadn't thought of that one Dave :^O .I know what you mean! I've tried to argue that if the downlights are IP rated and double insulated then the wiring isn't actually in the bathroom - it's above it! A decision for your conscience!
