I have an AC wall socket, currently controlled by a wall switch. I

socket. Alas I never looked to see how that "split" outlet
configuration was implemented.

Can one inform me, how to make this change? Thanks


Thanks to the Many responder for the extensive, timely advise. With
your advise I now have a switched/ half hot outlet.

Is the word *advise*(in the context that you are using the word)
instead of *advice* the way it is spelt in the US?


In the US, *advice* would have been more correct.

BTW, in the US we use *spelled*, not *spelt*

Who said we are "Two countries divided by a common language" ?

:-) Both of us recognise every word in spite of some different
spellings, ie: it's still English.
