G&H came back to me saying this shaver socket does require a 47mm back box so no further forward. Please let me know if you know of any that fit a 35mm back box - 47mm seems standard nowadays. Thanks.

Thanks for that re the wagos. The light is all up and working and I will look for the 221s next time. The rose was fairly roomy so they did all fit in but it could have been tricky in a smaller fitting. Thanks for all the help.

Just checking - Tool station sell the 5 terminal lever connectors - 32 amp. is that the right size for a lighting circuit? https://www.toolstation.com/spring-lever-connectors/p68406 Thanks.

Thanks so much for your help. I will get some more of the lever connectors - I wasn't sure of the make and you are correct. Thanks also Adam - your explanation was very clear and confirmed what I thought. Fortunately I had marked the switch wire before I disconnected it!

There are 3 wires hanging from the ceiling -(two for the ring main and one for the switch). Below is a photo of the previous ceiling rose which I have taken off and a clearer photo of the new light. The new light has 3 quick connectors labelled Live, Earth and Neutral - my query is where the...

I think you are correct. G&H do a Ccontour range and it clearly says on their own website that the CC30W shaver socket fits a 32mm back box https://gandhelectrical.co.uk/products/finishes/polished-chrome/contour For their other products it says the shaver sockets require a 47mm back box. Many...

That's great thanks. It looks ideal. Many thanks!

I have just decorated the bathroom and want to replace the existing old shaver socket with a brushed chrome one. The existing back box is only 32mm deep and every new shaver socket I can find requires a 47mm back box. I really don't want to try to change the back box because the existing one is...
