i currently have a pull light switch in my bathroom but i want to move it outside the bathroom,there is a new false ceiling going up and also some downlighters.what would be th best way to move the switch.

i was thinking of using a junction box for the downlighters instead of looping them all together,would this be ok?

thanks

scott

    Your registered electrician will advise you on this before he/she does the work and notifies it to the council as this work is notifiable.

    Sorry!

    In which case employ one anyway as I would suggest that asking a question like that on a public forum gives the impression that you lack the necessary knowledge for such a simple task anyway.
    Be safe my friend and leave it to someone who would know.

    In best faith

    Obviously it's not a problem the Scottish parliament give much thought to.... loads of their voters going round electrocuting themselves !! You don't get a second chance with Electricity.... BE SAFE !!
