ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade Non-US Electrical Systems & Trades Dimmers serving UK 2A lighting sockets

Hutch,
You are quite correct, there is no objection to dedicated 2A lamp sockets being fed via a dimmer switch. I have seen this set-up in a few houses.
As you know 13A BS 1363 sockets are used for all general purpose appliances such as vacuums, TV's etc.
2A BS 546 sockets are only for special purpose use nowadays, as stated in your post.
