Hi, I've just bought two 1200watt patio heater lights, these lights have plugs on but I want to hard wire them with an outdoor switch, any help would be appreciated

use outdoor sockets, you can not use light switches to turn them on with as they will be too small (rating) you can use a switched FCU for each one though

And some people think that with all the death and destruction being caused by global warming (and you aint seen nuttin yet), outdoor heating is positively obscene.

Do the world a favour, and cable them up with bell wire, and instead of a switch just have bare cable ends that you twist together.

why?

i was thinking of getting an infra-red heater for instant heat in our conservatory, the air conditioner takes a good 15 mins to reach temperature (5 mins before it even turns the fan on)
