Chasing new switch wire for extra switch...

Mar 07, 2016 11 Replies

I want to add an additional switch for my lounge light so I can also operate it from another doorway.



Solid walls so chasing is indicated. New switch will be on same wall as existing one.



What's best? Is a straight chase horizontally across from existing to new switch advisable / allowed? Or something else?



TIA


Horizontal makes most sense.

Cables should be in line with a visible accessory, or within 150mm of and internal or external corner:

What about fitting a radio switch and then you could keep the remotes anywhere. brian

there are far easier options

Yes. Beside the dozens of others. ;-)

At one time, when you only had one for the TV, they did save effort, and were very convenient. Now by the time you've found the right one you'd have been quicker to go to the device and press a button on it. Except they don't put buttons on them anymore. ;-)

I won't, but what's the make?

Tesco or Asda. They come with three of these.
