That's what it feels like, a polished surface. I have only done one of the walls of the room so far, I think I might get some a lower grit paper to continue the room and maybe go over the completed wall with that too. Thank you for the reply

I got some great help in the UK electrics part of this forum so I have great hope for the decorating and painting section. I am very slowly "renovating" a house built in 1990 which has many layers of paint on the walls. I figured they could do with a good sanding, I took my sander to one of the...

Once again, thank you very much for your help with this.

I am extremely grateful for your help Sunray and it is likely I'm not understanding your suggestion here, but I thought putting a socket on a lighting circuit was a no no? Obviously keeping the plug attached to the LEDs would maintain my warranty.

Thank you both for your replies, much appreciated. One final question linked to this, I plan to cut off the plug from the LEDs to hardwire it in (the driver is separate to the plug), this means I'm removing the 3a fuse from the plug. Would it be sensible to put a fused switch in the loft to...

Thank you CB for taking the time to offer an alternative solution, but as Sunray indicated I have everything there to do it with a 2 gang switch at a lower cost. Could I ask for a little more guidance please. With the triple and earth cable I assume the brown will carry the permanent live to...

Yeah, that's a big reason why I wanted them wired to the light switch so that is natural to turn them on and off. The other reason was for the installation to be as "clean" as possible, no wires coming from the coving to a power socket or anything. I haven't selected the actual LEDs or driver...

Excellent, thank you very much indeed and just to confirm wiring a driver into the lighting circuit is standard practice too? Sorry I'm just a little surprised that what I was planning on doing is possible, thought it was going to be a massive headache.

Sorry I should have said that it's an upstairs room so I was planning on putting the led driver in the loft. So triple and earth is acceptable way of wiring in a 2 gang switch? Thank you for your replies so far, it does sound like I was over thinking it.

I have on a number of occasions benefitted from the help given in these forums, but never had the need to actually post any questions. Unfortunately I find myself lacking in knowledge and confidence that what I am trying to achieve is even possible. It is hopefully very straight forward and I...
