Re: DIN Rail Boxes

[adrian.lucas@xxxxxxx]

Dimensions of LD 10 (in mm) are:

51 width
71 depth (incl 6mm for fuse)
80 height

You will need to allow extra on the height for the cables.  It might be=
nice to leave the fuse sticking out in which case you need a 15mm diam=
hole and the depth reduces by 6mm.  You might have to allow space for =
a junction strip as well because the=20
existing wires probably won't be long enough.  Under the floor is a pos=
siblility but you need easy access to change the fuse which may blow wh=
en the bulb fails.  If you don't need dimming then the AD10 is smaller =
(35 X 66 X 80) and doesn't have a fuse.

Another alternative which could be easily removed is the LW10U though o=
nly suitable if you have one light switch per box.
