Hi
I have moved into a new house - which had recently been renovated.
Now quite a few of the plug sockets througout the house are a non standard fitting - they look like a european plug socket to me.
Here is a picture ***** REMOVED*****
I am sure they are wired up to a dimmer switch on the wall - seem to remember the previous owners had lamps plugged into them
My questions are :
1) Can I replace them with a regular UK plug socket ? / Or replace the plug on an electrical item with this 'odd' shaped plug.
2) Would they be wired onto a different circuit in my house ?
Just after some general advice and an explanation to what they are...its frustrating as they are where i would like to put an iPod docking station...
Infact the more i think about it I never seen any electrical items for sale in the UK with this type of fitting.
Please help, I am a DIY noob,....many thanks
