Doing an attic conversion and been asked by the builder to put the bedroom switch just outside the bedroom door. As built in wardrobes going either side of the door in the bedroom. Never came across this or gave it much thought. Is a bedroom switch allowed to be outside? Cheers

? What regs does it not conply with? (how about switch recessed into door frame (not full size)
 
Why not? It doesn't say anywhere that it must be installed inside the room. If that's what the builder/client wants then what's the hassle.
 
If you have to position it outside the door I would 2way it with a switch adj to bed - nobody is going to be happy with having to go outside the room to switch off at night.
 
I have a bedroom in my house with the light switch outside the door, was done as part of the build because there is no room for a switch beside the door inside due to a walk in wardrobe. I must say i find it really annoying and we don't even use the room and i have yet to come up with a suitable alternative, short of reducing the walk in wardrobe.
 
I was thinking something more permanant Tel, no doubt someone will lose the remote. Not to mention they are uglier than energy saving lambs
 
I find it hard to believe that there is nowhere in the room to position a light switch, I mean they aren't the biggest things in the world are they. As said, why not use a pull switch?
