How to wire a light switch so that the t and e (not just the light fitting) is disconnected from the lighting circuit when the switch is turned off?

[PotatoSoup]

Hiya, thanks for reading this. Please could someone tell me how one could connect up a light switch so that the twin and earth cable going to the light fitting is disconnected from the lighting circuit when the light switch is turned off?

Set your wiring so you have a 3-plate switch arrangement. This means the L & N connections are within the switch wall box and then just the switched pair go to your pendent drop via the ceiling rose. Will this arrangement satisfy you?

When you said 3 plate did you mean 2 plate? Asking for a friend

LOL ... it's the pesky cat's fault and shez not even my cat. She followed me home around 2yrs ago and then never left. I also blame the forum for not having a preview button. The number of wrong keys I hit when she constantly nuzzles me are uncountable. Please apologise to your friend on my behalf Now she has her tail across my screen ... clear off Katz, shooo

Won't he need a three-pole switch - not a 'light switch'?

Why do you want it like that?

Is this for wiring a bathroom light/fan?
