Hi,
I have 3 sockets which are controlled from a lightswitch, allowing lamps to turned on and off centrally.
The plugs and sockets are a sort of miniature-3-round-pin affair. Unfortunately I only have one plug and have met with no success trying to find others.
Any ideas where I might buy them, and also what the correct terminology is?
Thanks
Sean

Mine was just a fraction slower.
Are these BS546 round pin plugs? If so, larger B&Q stock them. They are available in 2A, 5A and 15A (and 30A, but you are unlikely to find that anywhere nowadays). They are normally unfused, although fused versions are available.

If you look at the writing on the bottom of the plug it should give the details - including a BS number.
It's likely a 2 amp although 5 amp are also used. Larger B&Q sell them - and other sheds may too. Otherwise any electrical wholesaler. Or mail order from Screwfix, etc.
