mogga what is the price as ive not had the pleasure yet, but the rep at excel said about £60-80 was she telling porky's

£69 for the switch and £75 for the receiver sounds a bit steep but if it saves raggling n plastering ect and makes job easier to conform to regs £150 ish isnt bad

Hi guys, first time poster here and I have a question that also relates to moving light switches too so why not just post it in here I figure...

Anyway, gotta move a double emergency light flick switch from one side of metal duct work to another, utilising an existing metal surface mounted back box, which is lower than the existing switch.

Just wondering what are rules when it comes to extending cables and also cable size when making joins?

Is it perfectly okay for me to simply extend using connectors (aka. chocolate block) and the cables run into the flick switch are all 2mm. Is it okay if I run my extensions in 1.5mm?

Look forward to your responses, its great to be here!

If you mean your making concealed joints inside the Trunking the the way to go would be crimps & a good Ratchet crimper. You normally extend wiring in the Gauge wire that's already there or use a larger CSA not smaller.
