when you say no test switch, do you mean this is a fusebox with mcb's in it (ie looks like this: with these in it:

if you want some nice brushed chrome sockets, get a (high qulaty) MK Albany plus. higher qulaty, easier to install and complies with bs1363. they also look heck of a nicer.(they also sell ones like that in ikea with a plug lol!)

metalclad is not compulsory, but i personally recommend it. it will take all those knock that will break a plastic one. the most damage i have seen on a metalclad is a small chip above earth. Pick up a few MK Metalclads for a few quid and you can be sure it will work

possible earth leakage. have you checked ALL earthing back to rcd???

Right here is my prospect. (i never use the word prospect. ARRGGGHHH!) i have a MK Albany socket with neon. I am planning to use a 47mm backbox (the one with cord grip :idea: ) and a meter of 16amp flex connected to a plug with a 13A fuse. kinda like this key: * = plug -- = cable [] =...

thanks for that

the light is mounted on the beam going across. do you need a picture to justify???? about the cable grip. the light is mounted so there is no need for a restraint. i dont want a table lamp because in my shed i need light form the top not a little table. an backbox... im talking about a...

this is possible lethal but... I have a light that i plug in. (Fern Howard Moonlight 2D) it has a moulded plug and works fine. What i want to do though is add a lightswitch. I know the switch is single pole but is it ok to join the neutrals together and do the earthing correctly. I dont want...
