Deepest light switch back box

[Biggiemanbiggie]

Hi,

I need to install some Fibaro modules behind my light switch.

They recommend 60mm back boxes but struggling to find them, wondering whats the deepest available in the UK as I can only find up to 47mm ?

Here's an example that's 67mm!

CyberSelect is coming soon

We are doing some maintenance on our site. Please come back later.

But do you really need to go that deep?

That would be almost be getting through to my neighbours!

...and having looked at the modules, mounting an RF device in a Faraday cage may not be ideal, we also don't tend to have neutrals at our light switch points. Is it possible to mount them at an accessible location elsewhere?

Oh, I thought Random didn't realise it was the 'Outside UK' forum but now I notice the OP is in the UK.

You're right, I didn't notice it was the 'outside UK' section , I tend to look at the 'Latest posts'.
I did notice the OPs country though - and I did wonder if these modules were better suited to 'European' wiring

„Requires at least 60 mm deep back box“ does sound like continental accessory, standard boxes are 45 or 50 mm deep, deep ones 60. Continental-style switches for round or square back boxes take up a lot more space in the back box than UK ones. I have no idea why, they’re only rated for 10 amps too.
