Title: Re: [ukha_d] Bathroom Light Switch

Hi Robert,

   I spoke to the 'secret switch' people as well re this -
they have not got approval for a wall mounted proximity switch for use in
bathrooms (and have abandoned current plans to do so ) but say if it is
mounted behind a tile that should meet approvals although they do not
market the switch with this statement - I am still skeptical. (They make
another product with a hidden wire antenna for sensing that uses an
isolating psu down to 5V which is approved). However I am intrigued by this
so I will have a word with Harrisons & see what they say - BTW I am in
Huddersfield too.
