Hi I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice for wiring a new led TV. The TV
will be on the wall and will only have about 20mm at the back. I currently have a Mains ring socket about a metre below where the TV will be placed. What I thought was I have two options.
A) tap into the wire and fit a fused switch and then cut the power wire from the TV, as it's a moulded plug, and wire it straight into this socket. I don't need a socket below so I can pull the wire up and get rid off that socket.
B) fit a new socket behind the TV, and recess it into the wall so the plug would be flush with the wall when it is plugged in.
What seems a better option. I know I would lose the warranty if I cut the plug but I can just but a spare and cut that.
Are there any problems with recessing the plug.
Cheers
PS it's an external wall
