    Looks OK, as previously asked does the one way switch (left one with 2 holes in use) do anything on the other 2 gang switch

    Twin and earth outside?

    I done a pub swingsign about 30 years ago with 1.5 yellow artic flex on a 10 metre catenery. I still drive past it, the cables now black from London traffic and most hangers have broke or bunched up and the flex is sagging, but still hanging in there, though not sure if the lights still...

    Lighting didn't come back on

    Often the power to the third room comes from the second room via the round bases mounted on the ceiling, it is quite common for a cable to come adrift if it was loose in the first place, usually after its disturbed

    Rgb decklights

    Thanks I was a bit concerned putting 12v across the leds as thought may be a bit much. I bought them a few years back and never fitted them till now and when I plugged in the controller it screeches and no lights. It did start to work briefly for a few minute's and I quickly checked It...

    Obscure Light Switch Wiring

    I'm not sure its possible to wire the 3 cables as they are and work as you describe if there was 2 switchlines for your 2 lights. Yes you could wire it wrong to get 1 switch doing both lights on/off as normal but the second switch would always turn off 1 light whilst the first switch is on...

    Help making sense of new touch dimmer 2 way switch plz.

    Never Seen These Details

    Lampholders used to be marked T1 or T2 but was usually inside and barely visible, it was quite common for one type .to burn out with the old !50W tungsten lamps. The weight is also determined by the flex size, there's actually a Table in the regs for that. It's also a useless fact that a...

    Correct way to join electrical cables in a wall

    BS1363 Plugs, should ferules always be used with them or is it just a nicety?

    Dependant on the type of flex used, its been in the regs since the 17th edition that ferrules should be used on certain types of fine or multistrand wire
