It's a strange one, wiring looks good...maybe it's just the kind of receiver I bought...? Main switch off = receiver works Receiver in off position = main switch works But cannot have main switch on and then turn off with reciever. Tbh I don't actually need that function for my purposes but...

Hi EFL, Thanks for the advice. Successful installation! Question. I have found that the receiver only operates when the main switch is on and main switch only operates when the main switch is off. So I guess the main switch needs to remain permanently live? I was under the impression that...

One query I have is why my switch neutral wire goes into L on the light fitting. I guess the switch needs power which its getting by spuring off from the feed and there is no other option but to use the neutral as a switch wire? Am I in the right ball park? Cheers

O yes, iv seen the annotations thanks!!

Hi EFL, I can't see if you wrote anything on the thread. Cheers

Im going to move onto to trying to use the switch with an upstairs light but having trouble to know where to get the wires. Iv had another comment to this thread with the info...any thoughts? Cheers

Hi everyone, What do you think of this? Attached is a drawing. Im still trying to find a use for my wireless receiver. I want to try and use it as a second switch for a bedroom light. Iv taken a look at the wiring at the light but I'm not sure how I would connect the receiver and still...

Hi MattyLad, Thanks for your comments!

Hi EFL, Yep! That was the initial idea which was achieved! But there are almost too many lights in that area now so was looking for solutions.

Thanks Pete. A job for another day/month or year who knows! Happy to have just got the new lights up with no trouble

Thanks Pete. I could or could I spur off the extractor fan which is the nearest source I can think of? So essentially for my switch to work the pendants need an independent supply?

Thanks Pete, Yeah now you say it, that makes complete sense. Any thoughts on a solution with minimal damage?

Hello Forum, I have posted a picture of my current wiring arrangement. Would anyone be able to tell me if this set up would work? I e. Will the main circuit still function properly with the kinetic switch is where I propose to put it? As you can guess I want the pendants to operate...

Thank Pete. I see, so the live cable would go to one switch and then just feed all other additional switches?

Thanks Eric. Yes, that's right. The 3 cable is feeding a two way. So does that mean that the 2 cable is one power cable going into the switch and one cable going out to the first LED i.e. The unknown destination wire. I have no idea where the junction boxes are hidden

Thanks alot EFL. I think I meant - the wire from the fuse board goes to a junction box directly to the switch and from the switch feeds the light circuit, correct? I want the new lights to be on the same switch, in which case, could I just continue off the last downlight, it's connecting to a...

I am looking at adding some lights to a kitchen lighting circuit. Iv had a poke around to establish the initial circuit and it's going to be a "leave it to the professionals" job, however, I would like to satisfy my own curiosity and frustration. If anyone would be kind enough to explain I would...

The block wall was to establish a shape and contain the MOT I filled it with and I used sand to lay the slabs on. I want to continue to wall to the right. Hopefully the pic helps to visualise.

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and looking for some advice I'm preparing an area for a patio. Iv already done half and did a full on concrete foundation but I now need to extend it. I want to avoid the hassle of mixing concrete this time and I have a load of spare 50mm concrete slabs which I...
