Hi all, I’d appreciate some advice on fitting a new wall light (not bought it yet but want to know options for fitting).....
The new light is designed to be wall mounted but has a plug for supply from a socket. However, I’d like to fit it in place of an existing wall unit which is on the lighting circuit and have the following questions:
- Can the new light be fitted by removing the plug and connecting directly to the existing supply or would it have to go via a fused unit? (Can’t think why as it would be on the 5A lighting circuit).
- If there is no need for the fused unit, is it acceptable to make the connection via a 5A terminal block (would still be accessible by lifting the light unit away from the wall)?
Many thanks.
