Hi all. I want to add lighting to a built in cabinet. I will spur off from a wall socket with 1mm sq cable. Can I spur off with 1 length of this cable and bridge from one set of terminals to the 2nd set inside the architrave switch?
Thanks.

If the spur from the socket is protected with a fused spur using a 3A or 5A fuse - then YES.
The Architrave Switch will be spurred directly off wall socket. There's no fuses inside the A/S.
You *must* fuse down through a fused connection unit before cabling to the switch. The switch and lights will not be adequate for connecting to a 20A or 32A socket circuit.
Then you need a fuse somewhere else.

You need a fuse.
Yes of course. For a fuse you's usually use an FCU. I guess a mains plug feeding flex would also comply.
