hmm shame. The tubes themselves come with instructions suggesting to wire up to a 3a plug. All I wanted to do was add a single switch in a convenient position to control all. No its not a class II - casing is clearly marked & earthed internally. I could add a switched FCU under the...

Thanks for your replies guys. To answer your questions, yes it is mainly for aesthetics and to keep things simple. But if it isn't safe, I'll get a pull cord or something similar. Tubes are indeed 230v and will be wired via a fused 13a plug (fused at 3amp). Plugged into the ground floor 30a...
