Hi everyone
Shopping at Bunnings the other day and found myself in the electrical isle looking at LED dimmable downlights.
I picked up a box of Arlec 9W Tri Colour dimmable LED downlights with plug bases.
Pack of 5 for 49 bucks sounds cheap to me and I almost grabbed them........almost.
It got me thinking.
If the downlights are installed into the ceiling and are fitted with a lead, and then that lead plugs into the plug base supplied with the light, which almost definitely is wired in the ceiling THEN HOW DO YOU TURN THE DOWNLIGHTS ON AND OFF.
Needless to say, I left them there and strolled to the tool section. Hahaha!!!
Seriously though, is it common practice to wire these plugs bases on to a light switch? Doesn't sound proper to me.
