Hi,
I remember John Bloom hitting the headlines back in the day.
I have a flush fitting light switch made by 'Rolls Switches Ltd.' It is made to BS1299. The fixing holes are not the standard width, so it must need its own back box.
Was Rolls Switches Ltd. another branch of Bloom's empire? I've never seen any other Rolls wiring accessories; plugs, sockets, light fittings, etc.
Cheers, Pete.
