FCU as light switch?
Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2011 7:37 pm
The supply to the outdoor light at my property is a spur from the ceiling rose in the living room run to a switch and then to the light itself. The neutrals are joined with a connector behind the switch. No problems there but I'd like to have a means of isolating the light if anything goes wrong so I can work on it.
Is it allowable to just replace the light switch, at shoulder height, with a switched FCU and use that as the on/off switch instead? The FCU having proper terminals for all three core wires instead of the current nylon connector for the neutrals makes more sense to me.
Tis OK? Y or N?
