Hi guys
Just double checking with you guys on the following because I keep doubting myself based on what I was taight and the regs;
Wired up a bathroom recently in an extension and customer requested a light switch on the wall, checked the obvious in the regs and by my understanding you are allowed them in outside zones though I generally advise pull cords or switch outside which I learnt during my apprenticeship. Now the bathroom I did was quite big and the switch is in a mini corridor entrance to the bathroom and about 2 metres from the boundary of zone 1. But in the regs all I can see that outside zone is limited to is socket outlets 3 metres away otherwise general rules apply.
(Before I get crucified, I finished my apprenticeship 6 months ago and am going it alone, nerve racking enough without experienced fella's telling me I am incompetent and should jack it in and get an office job lol)
Cheers
