Hi All,
About to start looking for info but quick query please on location of a fused spur or single socket for use as a connection for a couple of fire surround downlights....
..looking to add two low voltage down lights to a timber fire surround.
I have a one single socket on downstairs ring adjacent to the new surround – was looking to add a fused spur next to it which would then feed dimmer and transformer for lights.
The transformer is going to be fitted in the “leg” (approx 120mm wide and 75mm deep) but for aesthetics would ideally prefer not having the fused spur visible so wondered if it was within regs to have it located on the wall but within the internal width of the leg – it would be accessible for fuse replacement/testing etc in the sense the surround is not permanently attached to the wall just self standing on a hearth and retained with two internal clips – lift up and it comes away ?
If the fused spur can indeed be “hidden” any reason why it couldn't therefore be a spurred socket with the transformer fed by a standard fused plug ?
Two piccies attached (if it works) – “_1” of the current single box with approx location of surround and “_2” looking down the back/internal leg of the surround.
Thanks in anticipation for any insight.
