I have used 15m blue rigger hdmi cables successfully to run the sky box to other rooms with no degradation

these are quite slim/small so might fit in the fan housing https://www.toolstation.com/ideal-industries-in-line-push-in-wire-connectors/p87609

found these in case your wall is plasterboard ( I never knew these existed till now so bookmarked for reference!) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313427211003

you could drill another hole in the back box offset from centre or if you use a full size box these have four holes in the back and all away from centre https://www.toolstation.com/made4trade-metal-back-box/p14570

2a socket? If the driver has just a cable connection would an architrave box sunk in the wall covered with a blank plate to conceal the connections work? File a small slot in the edge of the plate to allow the driver cable exit.

found this pic elsewhere and why???

That's fine. You could actually run dozens of 6w LEDs from that cable.

any good?? ok too many buttons but good price...

apart from the stupid price, is something like this what you want...

Some blank plates have thick edges that can allow a cable to exit via a suitably filed slot. ( I have done it to allow speaker cables to exit using architrave plates) ie...

From the diagram, will the Cu be above the units at high level or (and I hope not) in the cupboard? As access could be difficult when needed

Click scolmore do a 4 gang switch and you can remove individual switches and replace them with different switches like intermediate or push. https://www.toolstation.com/click-mode-10a-switch/p41389 https://www.toolstation.com/click-mode-10a-switch/p71895 take the intermediate switch from the...

How about this wrapped round the fan spigot https://www.toolstation.com/stormguard-jumbo-rubber-foam-weatherstrip/p95977

Maybe not per se but the metal back box wouldn't be seen through the gaps in the slats as the box edge could now be flush with the panel

Make a frame using the same wood as the panels slightly larger than the socket /switch size and fit that flush with the panel?

Clean the internals of the volume control and balance control as well as the speaker selector switch and terminals. Even just moving the controls back and forth a dozen or so times can be enough to dislodge any crud built up on the contacts. (years of plugging in cables at the BBC taught me to...

How much!!!!

If you can use those 47mm boxes everywhere it gives more room for the cables and now is the easiest time to make the choice

Disconnecting the cables at the dimmer and removing the metal back box should allow you to see better where the cables go.
