To given an update, I had a time to complete this today and this worked! Thanks for your help everyone.

Great thank you. So just to confirm my understanding. The L and N wires which were in the same wago clip are both switched live? So I can use a 3 block connector (instead of 3) and light fitting's brown wire would then connect to these two wires? These block after this connection would have a...

Yes, it was indeed the case. I have separated them now. and looks like Blue is switched live wire as shown in the picture. Nothing is being detected on the brown wire. You would already know but as a result of this separation of the wire, the right side light has stopped working.

I see, I tested the blue wire again with switch turned on (marked N in the photo) and the current is being detected on that wire as well as on the Brown wire (marked L). Other two neutral wires connected in the same wago strip does not get any current. I am using the tester below.

No, the brown and blue both come from different grey wire.

Single switch will control both lights. I am attaching the photo of the switch wiring. The switch on the left is for the outdoor lights.

If that option was still there then I would have chosen that in first place.

Yes you are right. I will test again in the morning using multimeter and if not then looks like it's best left for the electrician.

I see, If one of the blue was a switch live then one of them should also be getting a current when I test it? None of the blue wires are getting any current like the live wire. Only the brown wires are showing a sign of getting the current.

I am trying to connect an outdoor light and struggling to fire it up. I already have a same downlight on the right side of the window and I am trying to add the exact same light on the left of the window. The light on the left was added by the builder when doing the extension and for some...

Hi All I need some clarification on the DPC level and expose of engineering bricks. I have attached some photos for context. I have had several calls with the private building inspector and he is keep repeating that he only wants to see two engineering bricks. Showing two engineering bricks...

Thanks for replies. Does it still make a difference even if the tree is taken down and inactive? Since it was a fairly large tree, the roots will surely be around for several meters (atleast)

I have a planning permission approved for the extension below. The right right is a the extension part. I have a question in regards to the foundation since there was a tree (T1) on the right right side of the extension. That tree has been taken down few months ago. The stump of the tree is...

The extension downstair is going to extend kitchen and make an office space on the right side of existing dwelling. Upstairs, there will be two additional bedrooms. I agree about the benefits the structural drawings would bring. I am very clear on what I would like the finished product to be...

I have had my planning permission for two story side extension approved. I am finding my self very confused now on what to do before the work can start. I called my local council today and they advice me that there are two ways to go about it. 1. Building Notice - simpler and work can begin...

Hi All I am planning ahead in regards to my flat roof for the garage. It is completely isolated in the garden and there are no walls on either side to use the bolted wall plate. The builder is in process of laying the block work sometimes this week. I have watched EPDM videos on youtube and it...

indeed it was a leak somewhere. Thanks We bought house few years ago so didn't know the pipe layout. Only thing I know is that the leakage was downstairs somewhere and water was going straight down to the floor. The plumber said it must a quite big leak for the boiler to recognise the demand and...

I have this strange issue where my boiler shows a D letter and burner light is constantly on. I can hear the burner noise and central heating is not working since boiler never gets a break from filling the request of hot water demand. The boiler was installed in early 2014 and serviced...

Thanks for reply. I have sucessfully connected the sensor now after watching the following tutorial on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QADC6WIz34

Hi All, I have this photocell (Dusk to Dawn Sensor) which I want to connect to my flash light. The flash light has standard three pin cables (with UK plug). The sensor has following three wires. So I wanted to connect this sensor in the middle of the wire so that the light only turn on during...
