Hello, I am looking for a good and affordable manufacturer of surface-mounted boxes and switches.
Do you also have a reliable source?

Thank you.

Simply make a hole on the side of the flush-mounted box, connect the cables, reinstall the switch, and enjoy.

That's how I would have done it too, but I'm pretty sure that's not compliant with VDE standards, right?!

The small hole will be closed afterwards with, for example, plaster. The cable will then be laid in a conduit or installation pipe.

According to VDE standards, basement rooms must be heated and ventilated. If one of these conditions is missing, the room is considered a damp area.
