This job comes under the new part P of the building regs. Get a qualified electrician in and he will do it correctly you can not have a switch int the bathroom. this is not a job for an amateur. There are zones in a bathroom also which will require different lights than you have by the sounds...

ie. have you two cables in the box or six i thought you meant cores two brown two blue and two GRN and yellow.

What you need is a double pole isolating switch. not a one way which you have described. Im assuming the fuse supplying the circuit is a 6amp straight from the consumer unit. if not you need a double pole switched fuse spur. make sure the back box is at least 20mm and not a plasterdepth box...

Have you got an earth wire running through the lighting circuit if so i would not worry about a rewire unless your thinking of adding loads of extra lights and sockets and a shower as the wiring will have to updated otherwise a new CU should be suffice.

you said you connected the earth and neutral to the lamp is this a mis-ype or not. wheres the live gone to?

saves changing fuses and putting wrong fuse wire in and burning down your house. id say have it changed. Expect to pay anything between 150 and 350 pounds also this job now under PART P. Also expect to be told your bonding needs updating to 10mm. Beware of the head shakers and unregistered sparks.

Sounds to me this is a one way switch. Is this a true two way or is it a PART TWO WAY. meaning has the a switch been added at a later date. ie can it be turned on at one end and of at the other and again on back at the other end . Check this out get back to me.

it can take less than 0.5 of an amp to kill you. would you put your hand in the fire to see if it was hot. or use a lighter for a gas leak. Get it checked out ASAP.

how do you do this and which rad do i start at. ie furthest away nearest or the rad thats cold at the bottom. do i open the valves on both sides or just one . help appreciated please.

get down to B&Q and pay about twenty quid for a remote switch. sves all the buggering about and takes two minutes to change. JUST NOTICED YOUR FROM POLAND SO NO B&Q try EBAY

You dont say if its all the lights that flicker or just the ones you changed check for a loose connection on the ones you changed or monitor what is already switched on when they flicker check your fuse box for overheating. Hot fuses or brown marks on the fuse holders also are you sure an...

went to change a fitting in a house and the owner had placed terracotta pots over each light it was even vented to let the heat escape though practical not flame proof it kept the insulation though, its up to you. If it was my house id fit a firehood check on E-Bay first.

Thanks for the reply. Pump is running new dhw switch fitted O/H stat ok what is DHE please help im tearing me hair out. Also now the pump only comes on for about 20secs goes of for about a min then back on for 20secs and reaeats over an over. when the CH stat is calling for heat all the time.
