Blog ≫ 2014 ≫ Socket spacers

I need these 1, I just moved the sofa and Clare spotted that one of my new remote controlled sockets has a clear gap around it (ie it is not flush with the wall)... I'm sure it is safe, it's just that there's not enough room in the back box / dry liner type thing to fit all the wizardry. So, have ordered some of these. Means the socket will still stand away from the wall slightly, but at least no little fingers will get in there.

UPDATE: Someone on the lightwaverf forum pointed me towards these guys 2, cheaper and free postage.
