Hi,

I have 3 sockets which are controlled from a lightswitch, allowing lamps
to turned on and off centrally.

The plugs and sockets are a sort of miniature-3-round-pin affair.
Unfortunately I only have one plug and have met with no
success trying to find others.

Any ideas where I might buy them, and also what the correct terminology is?

Thanks

Sean

Great minds think alike!

Mine was just a fraction slower.

Are these BS546 round pin plugs?
If so, larger B&Q stock them.
They are available in 2A, 5A and 15A (and 30A,
but you are unlikely to find that anywhere nowadays).
They are normally unfused, although fused versions
are available.

They could even be 2A, rather than 5A. B&Q sell both.

If you look at the writing on the bottom of the plug it should give the
details - including a BS number.

It's likely a 2 amp although 5 amp are also used. Larger B&Q sell them -
and other sheds may too. Otherwise any electrical wholesaler. Or mail
order from Screwfix, etc.
