    I’m currently upgrading my bathroom suite and was wanting to remove the old style pull chords style switches for the fan and light for a switch. They will be mounted well outside the zone 2 area in the bathroom so do I need to take any ip rating into account as well. Many thanks

    Regarding the "sockets allowed 3m horizontally from the boundary of zone 1" reg...something I've never had to consider before as most UK bathrooms wouldn't be big enough! Looking at this plan from OSG Does the 3m only apply in the direction of my red arrow, or does it arc around in the same...
