:lol: Apparently! Don't know why I had that in myhead. To answer the original question you need to choose the switch you want to use, disconnect the other, and send a cable from light A to light B, linking L,N,E and maybe Loop for the sake of it, and disconnect the existing cable at B.

You'll have to tell us what connections / cables you have in the switches. But basically you have to disconnect the 'strappers' going between the switches, re arrange the original switch so your feed is on C, and your swith live is on L1. You will probably have three cables connected (3...

Bloody hell. Going rate in Manchester for an average size house is 2 - 2.5 k !!

Sorry, I may be being too vague. What I want is lights on top of the cabinet as shown below - the continuous lines shows the cabinet, the three seperates show the light fittings. 24" 10" 24" blue light white light blue light ---------- -----------...

You need something to indicate their is a cable buried there (Regs), why not just install a 1G socket and make use of the ring?

It can only be supplied in metre lengths, I need much shorter than that, although doubling over the light would work. What I need is shy of half a metre.

Yes...

Cheers for your reply, I didn't even know you could get coloured fluorescents. However I would like something a bit more slimline than a fluorescent fitting. The rope light would be great, if anybody knows somewhere that could supply me one made-to-measure. Thanks.

Actually, it says they can only be supplied at metre lengths - too big !

These might do me... http://tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/DT611B.html

for a cabinet / dresser used as a platform for DJ decks. I want strip lights at the back of the decks, adjacent with the angle of the vertical wall, and the top of the cabinet. (Hope that makes sense) The cabinet is 58" long, so I wanted four 12" blue strip lights and one 10" white one in...

Yes as long as you fuse the cable down, IE using a swithed spur as your lightswitch.

And use weatherproof glands ( CW's ).

As long as the cable is adaquete why would you want to change the switch? You can buy replacement switches, although I fail to see why you would want to. Have you had any trouble with it?

Again fair point, but; A) I was FOR feeding it off the lighting circuit! B) Anybody who turns off the detection deserves a slap! Maybe not a house fire but a good ****ing wake up call anyways!

You still need a switched live from the switch to the light, and a neutral from the lighting circuit. Your best bet is to run a loop live and neutral from a local light fitting and a live from the switch using twin brown 1.5mm2 cable to your new fitting. Unless of course theres a neutral...

Fair poiin but the ones I fitted had a battery backup, and a very annoying beeper when they come into use.

I don't actually un derstand what you want or have existing. Can you be more speific please?

It's common to feed a smoke alarm off the lighting circuit, so I don't see why not. Just make sure you use the correct cable, and correct protection. (6A for 1.5 Twin)

I actually just mean a conduit drop for the switch buried in the wall (Pretty common) - not the whole system.
