So looking through regs items need to be switched to be controlled. So does an Alexa for type switch count. If you run a normal switch then add Alexa bulb say at some point someone will turn off the switch and the item will over time deprogramme. Therefore you could short back of switch giving constant power and solving problem but is that within the regs?

  • I occasionally get phone calls to call and extract base of a bulb, as the customers refer to them, with the electricians go to piece of equipment the long nosed pliers. It’s not unusual for old GLS lamps to fall to pieces when someone try’s to remove it and replacing some GU10 lamps requires brute force. 


    So best done with the power off.
