Low-profile electricals
I'm about to lose an existing double-gang wall socket behind a new wardrobe,
and would like to run a plugged-in extension lead from it to a new surface-mounted socket just beside the wardrobe. What little exposed flex there will be between the edge of the wardrobe and the new surface box can be trunked in, so I'm not concerned about exposing it to potential damage. I've been trying to find out if there's a surface-mount box (single-gang would do) with less protrusion than the usual 25mm (purely because it would look less clunky). And also if it's possible to get a conventional-type three-pin plug with less depth than the standard (since there's not going to be much clearance behind the wardrobe). I've looked in the obvious places but without luck; I wonder if I'm using the wrong search terms. Any pointers in the right direction would be very welcome. Thanks. |
