P_D you only need one clipsal 413 per switch. e.g. for a bedroom where by a light turns on 4 downlights, only one clipsal 413 is required. If you builder does not allow you to install clipsal 413 instead of downlight, what you can do is install one light in the position of the downlight and after handover just daisy chain it. Ahhh........I like your thinking !!! Assume a "Degree of difficulty" of (say) FIVE for your 1st fix Sparky to install the (additional) 413's, once the insulation is in, ceiling is installed, carpets, bed and everything else is in place, the "Degree of difficulty" of installing the other 413's would be significantly higher, say TEN. Given the well-publicised *cough* "additional markup" by builders, would it still be cheaper to get an after-handover Sparky, or would you be better just sucking it up and paying the builder for the 413's ?? (All things being equal....) Thanks, P_D .
