Thinking about it, looking at this photo here, it looks like whoever wired the fan in has used the yellow cable (black nowadays) as the switched live and blue cable going to the other blue cable (neutral?). What do you think? Regards Matt

Thanks for your replies guys. Sorry my mistake, the solid yellow colour is now black (post March 2004) but not neutral, my mistake. I believe that the old blue is now grey (switched live?). So will it work as per my diagram above?? Trouble is I havent got a spare 4 terminal JB... Cheers...

Hi rebuke, the colours arent clear in the pic but the colours from the fan are: Red (perm live - now brown) Blue (switched live - now grey) Solid yellow (neutral - now black) Yellow & Green (earth) Think this is right. Regards Matt

Okay ban-all-sheds, I have read and re-read and re-read the notes and links which you posted, i think i could wire the three downlights to the switch as follows:- Let me know what you think / if this is correct. Just need to sort out wiring the extract fan to the other gang then...

Thanks ban-all-sheds. Perhaps you can enlighten me on my diagram on my other post and just give me a definitive answer, can it be done or not? Thats all I ask. All I want to do is to wire 3 downlights to a 2G switch and the extract fan to the second switch on the 2G switch.... I just want...

I have 3 terminals. L1, L2 and L3, there is no C (common). Can L3 be used for C? I assume L1 is for live and L2 for neutral. Regards Matt

Can anyone help please?

I've updated sketch as follows: I just need to know which cable goes to which terminals in 2G switch now please. There is 2 switches to the 2G switch, one I want to control the lights and the other I want to control the extract fan. Regards Matt

This seems to be what I have, just not sure how to wire these into a 2 gang switch so that one switch operates the lights and the other switch operates the extract fan: The two cables in the middle (2) are yellow/green = earth. The yellow cable at the top is from cable red/yellow/blue to...

Thank you Ban-all-sheds, I want to remove the pull cord for a couple of reasons, firstly it is really loud (pathetic i know) but the missus compains everytime i get up in the morning or late at night about the 'dink dunk' click noise. I have been to B&Q today and couldnt find a silent/quieter...

RF Lighting - so can you help? Okay, I don't want to do anything illegal, so I can carryout this work myself (being a competent person), get my sparky at work to check it over, then inform Building Control so they can inspect it for compliance with Part P. Is this correct? Just need to...

rebuke thank you for your help

Thanks for the reply skenk, appreciate your comments. The battens i would imagine were put there to hold the insulation off of the fittings, when i first moved in the first thing i did was to cut out the insulation around the fittings so that it isnt laid over the top. I agree that the...

Okay the white circular junction box has three cables going into it from the 3 downlights, then there is a white cable out of the junction box which connects to three cables, first one is the light switch (currently pull cord) and the other two cables i guess are for the extractor fan. One...

Hello everyone, I'm just in the process of replacing my bathroom light pull cord switch to outside the bathroom (to be next to the door with a normal switch not pull cord). I can do this no problem but I've just been up in the loft and found lots of different wires etc which I assume are for...
