I don't think this is permissible but it may be, if done a certain way, so I'll ask:
I have a pendant light fitting in the lounge switched by the door, I also have a pair of wall lights run off an FCU (5A fuse) off the 32A ring. I would like to switch all from the same point. Can I:
a)put in a switch at the door for the wall lights connected to the fused spur after the FCU. I assume this is ok in principal, but does it need labels etc?
b)can that switch be one of a two gang switch, the other being the 6a lighting circuit switch. (Maybe this is ok with a labelled and separated back box or some such?? but I'm doubtful)
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give, I've searched the forums but can't find anything. I know I read something about it in the regs but I can't find it.
PS. ceiling is concrete and lighting circuit is above it in steel conduit, ie Fort Knox.
