Hi I'm looking for a bit of advice. I have 2 velux windows to connect up & each one has a flex with a plug top so straight forward enough, only problem is there's no attic space above otherwise I'd fit a socket & plug them straight into it, they don't want a switch on the ceiling or wall either. My thought was to run a 2.5t+e between them back to a socket in the far away attic space. This would mean cutting the plugs off them & putting them both through straight connection plates. Thought this would be better rather than fitting the sockets in the ceiling void & sheeting over them. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance
 
uksparks, we've had this debate a few times, me being on the side of 'keep the plug'! My argument is based on my own anecdotal evidence of various products where it categorically states do not cut off the moulded plug e.g. a Sony Lcd tv and this example. Others will say the manufactures have no right in civil law to void a warranty, when a plug has been replaced by a qualified electrician or technician. As in this example, we do seem to get conflicting statements from manufactures.

I guess you will only know for sure, when you make a claim under their warranty. Guess some legal experts could devote a whole conference to the subject!
 
Many appliances with moulded plugs have captive mains leads. Daz
True enough, but some don't. Perhaps those with captive leads don't care. By the way, I'm not trying to win an argument here, just reporting what I was told. I've emailed Velux about the conflicting advice. If they reply, I'll put their response here. Don't hold your breath though!
