What I thought was an easy Lighting job!

I was taught to mark them all because if for whatever reason you loose the marking on the switch wire you end up with 3 un-marked cables.

Well, I use a notch for the switch cable and leave the others alone. If it's a switched feed, it has a nick down the cpc.

UNLESS...it's a weekend, when I notch the feeds, leave the switch cable alone & paint any switched feeds with No7 Dusky Pink nail varnish.

If I'm feeling daring, I tie condoms to the cables, with a similar colour code to TT.

UNLESS... it's a bank holiday (rare this one) then I rush off the job early, leaving no markers, and have to bell them all out the next working day...
