Hmmm now your give the idea of bed lights so what if i wanted 2 way switchable ceiling lights with a bed light each side of the bed that could be turned on and off next to the bed but also on the wall on a 3 gang with the ceiling light

Ok well thanks for your help i need to look more in depth of what goes where in regards to com l1 and l2 on both switches

ok yeah i mean i dont really know if i need N at the switch im just going with doing it to have it there rather then not for any future things that might need it

Thats a very good point as amatuer i would say the red is the live and the black neutral wire is being used as switched live but yeah as you point out its not its a black switch wire and thats it

So if i swap the twin and earth drop thats currently there which is a (live and neutral being using as a switch live , for 3 core and earth where do i go from there

Also yeah the cable is pritty old and its on a old board but for now it really is going to have to do with the small upgrades then it will be getting someone in to do the main work at the board and such

Thanks again guys for the advise Yes the earths are twisted all behind on the back of the box So yeah 3c and e seems the best option i was just going with the line of taking N to the switch just to future proof it if any smart switch or something ever ended up wanting to be added So...

Hi thanks for reply i dont kind of want to go down the way of a smart bulb system this is a empty house and the whole room is getting plastered so im happy to make a mess lets say lol the whole wiring does want upgraded but thats a cost factor that cant be covered at the moment but while im...

Hi guys can i ask some advice regarding making my pendant light 2 way switchable. im doing some bits in my sisters house which is a older house then mine at my house the switch live and the common come down on 2 separate cables and the neutrals into a connector block however in her house its...

Once again thanks for the help My loft circuit is quite old and quite a few points around the house have been ran off 30a junction boxes on a single run of cable and i belive if this is the case you then should not be running a fcu off the back of that double socket How many single runs can...

⁴ Th Thanks alot for the advise yeah so basically once you have a fcu on you can basically connect anything to the load side of the fcu obv aslong as you have the correct fuse in the fcu So on a other questionnwith regards to coming from a juction box in the loft to bring a new 13amp fcu...

ok i understand now so your not suppose to add a fcu to a socket that has already been just ran off on a single 2.5mm cable and is not part of the ring the way to do it would be change the socket that has been ran off the single length of 2.5mm to a fcu then add further sockets after that...

Yeah this one is kind of correct but its not coming out the back of a socket on the ring its coming from a break/juction box in the ring So you cant break into a ring run a single lenght of 2.5mm to a new double socket the spur off that socket with fcu

maybe what im saying is being misunderstood so i have 1 double socket coming off a ring on 2.5mm which has 2x 13amp outlets then from that double socket there a fcu capable of taking another 13amp so does that not mean i could pull 39amps all togeather if there was no 32amp breaker but cause of...

Ow so if a double socket has already been ran on a radial spur in 2.5mm from a ring main circuit you cant then add a fuse spur unit from that socket ?

Hi guys can anyone answer a question im intrigued by so on a house hold ring main on 2.5mm twin and earth protected by 32amp breaker you can spur off any part of the ring with only 1x double socket i presume this is because if you added more double sockets then just 1 you could theoretically...

Hi guy hope this is right place to ask I need to get a 100mm hole through my brick wall for a vent duct . Ive read about only using a core drill for doing core holes however alot of people use a sds with hammer off if it has clutch I have a 110v hilti te55 Can anyone suggest if that would...

As you can see here the gap i ment

Thanks for saying that , yeah had i been going right to the ceiling i think i would of looked more into the top and bottom as much as the left to right.. i set it all from over the other side which i will add a picture to show , which was to get a full tile onto of this boxing behind the bath...
