Hi all.
Just a quick one if I may. I am currently about to fit 3 gang smart touch switch at my front door but owing to powering two sets of lights and an external light there is something like 6 T+E's in feeding into it. The back of the new switch is quite deep and its very busy in the box.
Seeing as I only need 1 permanent live, 1 neutral and the three switched lives going into the patress and into the switch, what do the regs say about putting all the other tails into terminal connectors and keeping them in the cavity ABOVE the box and only running down the 5 wires that I need into the box? I can't see why it wouldn't be safe but what about the regs?
Many thanks,
Steve
