Ok cool now I just need to know how to wire the switch and I should be ready to start is there anything else for me to bare in mind? - STELTHYYes a light stranded wire to the wall then I would use some heavier solid wire in between the sockets (not necessary but it makes things more secure).
??? What does that mean? lol - STELTHYSwitches are wired inline on the hot leg.
You'll just take a length of lamp cord then slice through one of the wires (your hot leg) and put the switch in between the splice. That sliding light switch might actually bite into the wire and make the connection for you.
Excellent mate, cheers for the help I'll add more REP to you as soon as I am allowed Right I am gonna make a start I'll add pics after I am done this will be cool - STELTHYYep you've got the idea.
Do I need to buy an electrical box? is that like a junction box? oh PS/ don't worry about the elec. tape I only got it really 'cos I ran out and needed some for my toolbox (propper connections will be used) I swear this looks so much more simple than it is .. lol I am usually pretty confident with stuff like this I think once I have an understanding in UK electrics and wether I need 2-core, 3-core or a mixture of both then thats basically it and the rest is just installing it with screws and pvc trunking - STELTHYYeah the only thing I would add is if it is 240 I would def. run all wires into an electrical box and make your connections inside the box. Def. don't tape the wires use connectors.
I use three core for everything I can esp. when it comes to safety in my own house I'll try to draw up a 3 core wire setup 4 ya
