RE: Re: Finding a cable within a wall?!

Does your kit run off a plug-top (wall wart) transformer? If so you
would
need to make a 5A plug to 13A socket cable if you go down the 5A socket
route. Still safer than putting in a 13A socket directly and having someone
plug in something they should not a year or two down the line.
Alternatively
use a switched fused spur with low current fuse to feed the socket outlet.

awesome thanks all :)

tried last night and not much doing, definitely need some bamboo
sticks or proper rods, will look in b and q at the weekend!

couple of people have suggested im ok running a loft box (normal
booster initially but eventually loftbox) from a lighting circuit so i
think im just going to put a socket in from a lighting circuit and run
from that,
I assume the hint to use 5amp sockets is to stop someone putting
something too power hungry into a normal 13amp socket, not for any
real reason of power requirements?!

thanks
