[QUOTE="fizzbang, post: 233230, member: 15884"] No i have no idea if it's from the lighting circuit fuse or socket circuit fuse. What you're getting at is whether I could put myself in the situation where i put too much load on the wrong circuit (EDIT: in the future if more things were plugged in), yes? That's sensible, thanks i'll see if i can deduce the answer to that if i'm right in my understanding. Yes i understand what you're saying about the cable for the doorbell to terminate properly into a 13 plug if i were to replace the spur with a double socket outlet. However, if the new booster came with a standard 13A plug and i snipped that off then could i wire that directly into the existing spur aka the current setup? And if so i'd also have an earth cable in that booster's cable and therefore that would need to be hooked into the earth connection in the spur? Provided that spur does not have a fuse larger than 13A then that should be safe surely? I'm just worried that any new booster might come with an actual power adaptor on the end of its power cable which would mean that i have to have a standard 3pin socket available to plug it in. There are no sockets currently available in my roof you see. Thanks for the replies folks. [/QUOTE]
