    Electric switch getting hot
    Hi, I have a problem with a downstairs lightswitch that gets hot. It appears to happen when a separate circuit of lights in my loft conversion is turned on. ( they run off a fused spur which if turned off solves the issue with the downstairs light.) It also seems to affect one plug socket downstairs. I have chnged the downstairs light switch fitting for a new one.
