[QUOTE="user 26400, post: 394598, member: 26400"] Thanks Doc H / Rob The existing trunking is not large enough to fit more insulated wiring, so will have to chase out the cable runs themselves. So it seems that if i use appropriate flex cable (to acheive adequate insulation matching that of the lighting circuit) sunk into the wall for the volt-free, it can be terminated into a 10A grid switch module alongside another 240V switch module. So another question; are there any cable colour requirements to make it obvious that this is volt-free and not 240V if i were to do that? Standard flex would presumably be using blue/brown/yellow cable which might be confusing to others in the future. Would not want 240V to be connected to the RJ11 by accident, and the phone wire would have been obviously not 240V to avoid such confusion. Perhaps Rob's suggestion of sheathing inside the box only would be more appropriate? [/QUOTE]
