    Is there any reason a spur would have L and N transposed on the load? (Ed.)

    Ok. Yikes Thanks for that.... so that's also bad... crikey..I don't know why I didn't spot that in all the goings on. How on earth was it working wired with the supply and load the wrong way?

    The wires coming from the socket go to the load. The wires from the supply go to the light. Is that the information you're asking for.

    Thanks for all this. There's some really great information here from everyone. Thanks for detailed bit about the testing part too... It might be a little outside my skills.... I'll post back once I've done the wiring. It's either going to be "smooth running" or "Herbie goes bananas*" on...

    Is there any reason a spur would have L and N transposed on the load? (Ed.)

    Yes. It's crossed over at the load input Still crossed over at the Supply output (but the colours look correct) Then at the light obviously still crossed over.. So someone added tape. ... There was speculation above about it being some sort of unofficial fix for something tripping.. .. I...

    Yeah there are drill holes for an outside lamp before the one I'm changing. I thought someone just added tape rather than investigate the problem any further down the line... .... Brown to CPC... MCB tripping. What's this and can I test for it?

    What's these bits about tripping things.

    Is there any reason a spur would have L and N transposed on the load? (Ed.)

    My concerns.. it's confusing.. And confusing=potentially dangerous. And the spur is wired backwards. Does it work wired wrong? And also there might be a good reason for the crossed over wiring that I don't know about. Hence my post. Asking if there was ever a good reason for this to be...

    The cable going though the wall is a single piece of twin and earth with no joins. The cable coming from the sockets to the spur also appears to be a single cable. And the pen tester indicates live on the line coming to the spur. So that all looks ok

    Hang on..the LOAD part of the spur has L an N .. Reversed.. The Supply part looks ok.. but it's been reversed by then.. Am I getting this right

    Yes.. my question is.. is there any reason why someone would reverse this? And would putting it correctly be dangerous?

    Hi I am changing an outside light when i removed the light. It had brown tape on the blue wire and blue tape on the brown. :unsure: So i inspected the spur. spur had LOAD wired in reverse (L and N reversed):notworthy::unsure: But the wires going from the socket to the spur all seem...
