Hello
I've noted for years a slight tingle in one of our light switches, a one way switch. Today I tested it and it was showing a very slight reading. The centre switch ie the turn on/off light switch has a plastic surround and no tinling or reading.
One of our 2 gang metal sockets showing an even lower reading at times but no tingle etc. We had all of the sockets/switches/lights changed when we bought the house years ago
Where can I buy/look up class two metal light switches/wall sockets? I've looked but can't find any.

Given that non-sheathed conductors will be present behind the accessory, and given that terminations will be made into it, there is no chance of finding a metallic Class II accessory. In the case of socket-outlets, there are no Class II socket-outlets of any construction as many appliances are reliant on an Earth connection for safety.{Signature removed by Forum Team - if you are not sure why we have removed your signature please contact the Forum Team}1
