Hi People,
Just a query regarding an outside light I have started to fit.
I have taken power from a mains socket via a junction box, fitted a 5 amp fused switch and then run twin and earth 1mm2 cable to an external weatherproof light switch.
However, I am confused as to how I wire this switch as there is no space for the neutral wire??? There is just a "common" and an L1 and L2 adn earth terminal.
I would expect this with inside lighting as the neutral would be in the rose. Also, the light I have purchased has a terminal for live, neutral and earth??
Do I then run the live to the common, the earth to the earth and leave the neutral out and then wire the switch to the light as follows:
Live to L1, neutral excluded and earth to earth??
Confusing??
Thanks for any help
