Hi All,
Quick question I hope - I have a traditional 2 gang socket outlet that I am moving for a wardrobe installation. It will be moved to a place where some wardrobe lighting will be plugged into it and the socket will be out of site / reach so I want to add an additional switch so that I can switch the socket on and off from a wall switch.
The socket wiring is straightforward, but the junction boxes I can find have problems fitting in 4 x 2.5mm cables (Circuit in/out, socket out, and switch cables). Can I use a 1.5mm cable from the switch into the Junction box? I have a better chance of getting that to fit into the junction box I am using, than I do trying to fit 3 x 2.5mm live cables into the same connector on the box.
The JB's I have are 6 terminal 20A or 3 terminal 30A, so if I cant use 1.5mm cable for the switch will I need to get ahold of 4-terminal 30Amp JB's?
Appreciate any advice.
Thanks.
