Double architrave switch - one cable
Hi all.
I want to add lighting to a built in cabinet. I will spur off from a wall socket with 1mm sq cable. Can I spur off with 1 length of this cable and bridge from one set of terminals to the 2nd set inside the architrave switch? Thanks. Arthur |

If the spur from the socket is protected with a fused spur using a 3A or 5A fuse - then YES. -- Adam |

I guess a mains plug feeding flex would also comply. NT |
