Hi all
I would like to move an exterior light switch (weather-sealed, for some exterior lights) to the other side of the wall in the kitchen - which would be about 20cm underneath the bottom of the combi boiler.
(It doesn't make sense to me to have a switch for exterior lights outside - if I want some light to put something in the bins in the rain and dark, I don't want the added annoyance of having to walk extra steps to turn on the light first...)
Questions:
1. I assume this is notifiable as it is in the kitchen.
2. Are there any regs around the distance of a switch to the boiler? I have had a look at 528.3 (Proximity to non-electrical services), but it is vague and I don't think it applies.
Thanks in advance
Kevin
