Okay, fine, get someone in. If I say I'll get someone in, will someone just answer the question out of curiosities sake?!

I can't see anyone even vaguely "professional" advising you to take a spur off a lighting circuit for some other purpose, and you can't force people to answer.

Given that, you can probably figure out what the options are.

Fine. However nobody was saying it shouldn't be done either, they just suggested not by me.

You will not require 240v for your bellbox , you will need it for the psu to power your bellbox.So just find a convenient plug socket upstairs , and extend the low voltage output into the loft.

Regards,

Would it be safe to take a spur from one of those and connect the bellbox up that way

The simple answer is NO for a number of reasons.

The bellbox comes with a standard UK 3 pin plug on it, so I basically need to plug it into a normal plug socket. So what you're saying is I could run an extra cable off of the back of one of my wall sockets say in the upstairs bedroom and run the cable up into the loft and put a plug socket on the end?

Thanks for the replies.

I still may get someone in to do it, but I'd still like to know if this is the best route to take.

I would say its not ideal or perfect even, but its your best route if your going to apply common sense.

eer..no. Just extend to low voltage cable off the plug in psu / charger , and plug it into a socket.

Ah sorry, I get you. That would certainly be easier

I thought he understood thats what you meant but i must admit i didnt read his post correctly.

I knew what you meant though.

Okay this is getting confusing. I think I'll just get someone in to fit a plug socket in the loft, which would be handy to have anyway......
