Attic light off fire alarm? Discussion ThreadAttic light off fire alarm? Electrical Advice
Hi,
At the moment I have 2 x led strip lights up my attic.
They are attached to a plug and I have to plug it in to one of the sockets in my bedroom. It works just a bit of a pain everytime I need to go in to the attic.
I want to put a switch up the attic so I can use this instead. I have pulled some of the insulation up and found the wire that goes in to the fire alarm. Would I be able to get power from this and run to a switch to operate the lights?
Picture of the wiring for the fire alarm.
