Left hand L and L1 match to COM1 and L11. Right hand L and L1 match to COM2 and L21. If you feel a switch is operating "upside down" then either use COM1 and L12 OR COM2 and L22. Mike was quicker than me (and says it better).

And what does "we would out down" mean? I'd assume that's a typo and should say "put down".

No, its a good idea. I daresay some of the sparkies will give you some hints. I'd suggest you could use a normal light switch, rather than an SFCU, as you'd be on a lighting circuit which, probably, has a 6Amp circuit breaker in your CU.

I'm not an electrician. Yes. I'd expect the lights to have an earth terminal even if it's just to park the earth wire.

I'm not an electrician so don't take this as gospel. Why do you want 20A switches? Is it you want double pole switching, if so use an SFCU as the "fused spur" and you'll then be able to use 10A switches. Although the SFCU will isolate both loads (rather than just one). What do you mean by "20...

*** PEDANT ALERT *** PEDANT ALERT *** I assume you meant "above it".

Another possibility is a pattress box such as (link): https://www.toolstation.com/wessex-pattress-box/pAB255 and then use whatever double socket you like. However you need to be very careful about the current cables. Which is the supply and which is the load? The white cable is wrong, you...

I imagine quite possibly a Ferranti Atlas.

Thanks for correcting me (every day's a school day).

I'm only thinking out loud here. There's a brass (?) screw which is partially hidden, would loosening that allow some adjustment? Other than that, work out how to move the complete (6" long?) black strip.

If I've understood you correctly, you'll probably have 2 cables coming out of the JB, one goes to the repositioned (roughly) central light which then daisy chains to an extra one and the second cable goes in the opposite direction to the final fitting. In the interests of being condescending...

sorry do not understand the question. if you are looking for information then please let me know which section of the EICR I need to look at to massage it to you MIs is short for Manufacturers Instructions. I believe Murdoch is asking whether the manufacturer says the fan is suitable to be so...

Ginger men who now identifies as a woman. I assumed Elsa was using rhyming slang, rather than referring to hair colour (Ginger beer).

Do you mean "should NOT be run". Knowing me, I'm probably talking Bow Locks but at 1.4kW would this be suitable for a ring final (assuming the startup current ain't too bad).

Do you have some sort of adaptor so you can plug AAA batteries into AA slots?

I believe it's really a Pie chart (e.g. apple pie).

I believe that should say: fatallyflawed dot org dot uk On my MK sockets (all at least 20 years old) the shutters aren't pushed down by the earth pin but they rotate (one goes up, the other goes down) when the Line and Neutral pins are pushed in. Does anyone know if MK still make them like that?

To this diyer, that sounds like balancing is needed.

No, both switches (1 on first floor, 1 on third) have to be (what's known as) 2-way switches. Has this ever worked as you want it to, or is this an enhancement?

I suppose they might have been frightened of blowing the fuse with so many sockets on the load.
