Hi guys,
I've been giving some thought lately to how I'm going to light our living room as the standard lights dangling from the ceiling approach will conflict with the ceiling mounted protector (and nothing is allowed to interfere with that after years spent getting to the point where I can fit it).
I don't particularly fancy wall lights so I came to the conclusion that lamps controlled from a standard light switch or dimmer would be a fairly good solution. I guessed that standard 3-pin sockets probably wouldn't be used for obvious reasons. A little research turned up these http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_In...Accessories/Sockets_2_-_5_-_15_Amp/index.html round three pin sockets - are these the correct things to use? Presumably I would then just replace the plugs on any lamps.
I don't remember seeing anything about this sort of set up in my 16th Ed OSG or the green handbook so I'm hoping this is still a standard circuit. I was planning on wiring the sockets on their own radial circuit like normal light fittings.
