Can I get some advice with this please.
I want to be be able to operate all of these light from a light switch as opposed to a plug and socket.
The plinth lights have a plug and the cabinet lights require a transformer.
Can I do the following:
- treat the socket for the plinth lights (LAP Apollo White 15mm Outdoor LED Deck Light Kit Polished Stainless Steel 2.6W 10 x 2.5lm 10 Pack | Decking Lights | Screwfix.com) as a lighting point i.e. take a live in and out (to next light) and run a switch cable to my switch. Whenever this switch is activated, the socket will have power
- I can then have another leg of cable that goes from this socket to the next cabinet lights and from here to the next (cabinets are at different part of the room and not necessarily linked. Hence the need for these separate cable runs). All of these cable runs would be live when the switch is activated as they will be wired off the socket.
I intend to use 1.5mm cable for all of this. I think I did something similar a few years ago but doubting it now as I have a plug powered by a lighting circuit. It will only ever be used for this. Perhaps I can change the fuse in this plug to 5amp too?
