Hi there, I've just installed a pond and need some advice on how to connect it to the electricity supply. I'm looking to get a Pond connection unit that plugs into the mains supply inside the house but wasn't sure how to connect the plugs to the electric once i have installed the unit?? Any...

No probably not but is for a neighbour who can't do it herself. I will put old switch on and get a new one.. Thanks for your help.. I just wanted to double check.

The switches are fused with small led on front. Can this not be used? If not I'll tape the wires up and get the right one next time I'm out. Cheers NB - I hasten to add that I have not purchased these switches, doing a favour for someone and was hoping to use a stash I had here. :wink:

Hi Folks, I'm in the process of replacing the light switches from old (originals) to new switches. The new ones have a LIVE IN, LIVE OUT, NEUTRAL IN. Does the BLACK wire from switch go into LIVE IN and RED wire in LIVE OUT? No need for NEUTRAL cable anywhere as I only have the two switch...

Hi, my mistake - Live is Brown and Blue Neutral.. Sleeve black red at each end - what does this mean?? I have also noted that the switched live in my process is going to the block that is taped up. Should this not be in the lamp so that it goes on and off at the switch? Regards

Thanks for your help!! I'm a little confused tho cos I have only got two main grey wires. One for the mains supply and the other for the switch. In this diagram there are three grey wires. In my case both grey wires contain a red, black and an earth wire. Starting from scratch cos I...

Hey. Have found the diagram and can see the problem. I need to know which of the two wires is the mains supply and the other the switch, this way I can ensure the ring isn't broken. In addition the old light was fitted using a ceiling rose which is similar to that of the diagram. The new...

Thanks for your advice!! Appreciate it!! is there anyway you can somehow illustrate how you would wire up this light?? Cheers
