Hi
I am in the process of buying some new black nickel light switches and plug sockets etc. For some reason the supplier I am getting them from only have 1G 2W light switches. Really only need 1W switches. Can 2W switches still be used as a 1W switch?
Also, regarding the earthing. Currently have white plastic switches with the earth wire going into the earth connector on the galvanised metal back box. I know metal switches need earthing so do I just remove the earth from the back box and insert this into the switch earth or insert a new earth wire from the switch to the back box (earth connector on back box will then have 2 earths)
TIA
