Lightswitch, neutral and terminal block...

[cheesepuff]

this is possible lethal but...
I have a light that i plug in. (Fern Howard Moonlight 2D) it has a moulded plug and works fine. What i want to do though is add a lightswitch. I know the switch is single pole but is it ok to join the neutrals together and do the earthing correctly. I dont want ANYONE saying use a double pole UNLESS it is the only way.

Why not?

the lihght you linked to is not suitable to be plugged in, it has no cable restraint.

why not just buy a table lamp?

is it fastened to the wall or ceiling, or what?

I think it's fastened to what.

So long as the light is permanently fixed and the switch connections are made in a suitable enclosure to BS7671, why not just buy an in-line switch and retro fit it??

the light is mounted on the beam going across. do you need a picture to justify???? about the cable grip. the light is mounted so there is no need for a restraint. i dont want a table lamp because in my shed i need light form the top not a little table.

an backbox...

im talking about a lightswitch not a consumer unit.

If wired as in your diagram then everything should be just fine.
