An intruder alarm panel. But then it's not DIY and ruins the fun? :-)

I did this with one of the spots in the bedroom. There are 4 spots and a pendant all on 1 switch. I wired into the spot with the other cables but it would only work when the lights were switched on... annoyingly

So how do I find where I am meant to spur from?

I tried to use an electric pen sensor. Tried to touch on cable for lights after the switch it beeps ever second or so... so was not right. On continuous feed cable I thought it would just stay red... but turns out I first wired up to 1 of 2 cables coming out of a light switch... both said were...

Hi all. So how do we find which cable on a lighting circuit has the live feed all the time and not just when a switch is on... or off? I found where the feed for the switch was, there were 2 cables going down to it... I did 1 and it turned off when the light was switched on... I then did it on...

P.S I was joking about the taking the money part hahaha clearly!!!! I'm never going to try and change a light fixing ever again haha Thanks again for all your help! Really appreciate it

FIXED IT!!! BOOM Thank you for all the help. Time for me to grab my money and get out!!!(y):D

Those 2 were not necessarily the correct 2 together as I had moved them and put others together as well. Silly I know. I now have light from each switch... but the hall light just stays on? It is not effected by the switch? The black one going in with the brown is blue. You cant see from the...

Porch light is working. These are the rest in their groups from the cable.

Hi Guys, thought I'd change my broken 3gang light switch in my hall. It does - the porch light It does the hall light - which has a 2nd separate switch by the lounge. It does the landing light - which has a 2nd separate switch on the landing. I noticed the new switch I have does not have any...

Thank you John. You have been really helpful!

Does the 3amp fuse not just give the socket an extra barrier of saftey or really, there is no point?

So it it correct to not need a fused spur. I can literally just wire a socket into the lighting circuit (so long as the testing is all fine), or extra safe for me to put the 3amp fused spur?

There is no lighting up there so anyone up their needs a torch. The socket would be padlocked off with labelling. If they put a heater on it,, wouldnt it trip the 3amp fuse? If that was faulty would it not then trip the MCB? Just thinking out loud? He has a newly plastered house. All built in...

Huge help, thank you

Thank you

Do these need a minor works certificate? I do have testing equipment... passed down to me... but not sure if its needed?
