is there one transformer that feeds them all? is it a normal light switch or a dimmer?

i wasnt saying megger would lie i just meant how accurate is reading as the jaws have a centralising bit and wondered how critical it would be to have a true reading on a flat twin & earth cable, has anyone used it?

must admit i havent seen one of these, does anyone know how accurate the reading it gives is?

rexel senate kit exactly the same but only about £10

lol yes two jubilee clips two piece of aluminium tube things piece of flat braided steel that squashes between the armoured braid and the jubilee clips and.......... a pairs of polythene gloves :D

well if you loosen the accesory box you can use a mini clamp meter and clip it around one of the live conductors, i have done this to test immersion heaters inside the switched spur, otherwise outside say a twin & earth the answer is no

i`ve used the resin kit, rexel senate electrical wholesalers keep them. it comes with a tropedo shaped box, connectors, tape and a resin pack which you mix and pour into box takes about 15mins from start to finish

only other thing is do it with power off, cant see if the earth is connected of the three core, so make sure it is especially if your lights require an earth, let site know how you get on :)

have you bought lights yet or thought of what type you want?

well you should prove that the blue is neutral and the brown in L1 is live but it probably is so if you put the brown of the three core in L2 and the grey in the block with the blue wire, (you should put some blue oversleeving or blue tape on the grey) then one of the three core cables outside...

what wire / wires are sticking out of the wall at the light positions? and how many blue wires are in that block?

what we realy need to know is how many cables there are at each point, is the brown in the L1 terminal top right a single & earth cable or a twin cable etc

no they are not hiding anything, the socket was behind a breadbin so was never needed realy or used, they had used it a few times but people being people it was just a "we`ll get round to it" thing, they werent that bothered when i showed them even
