Hi there
Please excuse any naivity/ignorance on my part, but I'm redecorating a room, and 2 of the 3 plug sockets are of the "fused" variety:
The wiring inside 'em looks like this (yes, the wires are dusty, aren't they!? ):
We've been here for over 2 years now, and they've never been in use, and I've tried turning them on and off to see if they affect the lights/sockets in the room and they seem to have no effect whatsoever.
Am I right in thinking I can simply replace these old sockets with normal plug sockets? I would leave them as they are, except that the new room layout will only work if we can put appliances where these 2 sockets are!
Any help would be appreciated!
