OK ... sorted and tested :) It is live

OK, got one of these. How do I use it? sorry for all the daft questions :oops:

No I haven't! I have one of those electrician type screw-drivers. I take it I just shove it in and it lights up?

Many thanks for the reply. I will do that test tomorrow. The switch must have been there for umpteen years! I was hoping that if I do decide not to use it I could finish the 2 red cables like the 2 black ones and put a blanking plate on the front. Will that be OK? Mick
