Have you googled safe zones ?

If you had it would clearly show that cables run horizontally or vertically from a switch , socket or accessory such as a light AND anywhere within 150 mm of a corner (external or internal) or 150 mm of the ceiling

Yes, I Googled it and watched GSH Electrical on YouTube but on another site, it stated something along the lines of safe zones don't extend around corners. This kind of threw me. I'm kind of 95% sure I can run it around the corner but just wanted clarification. After all, this is what this site is for. It's for experts like yourself to offer advice.

They don’t extend around corners BUT if the cable is running to another accessory, the around the corner is in its safe zone
