Hi - I'm hoping this is fairly simple but I have cable in the garage which comes out of the rose in the picture and runs along out of the door to a PIR light. I would like to add a switch though.
Am I right in thinking I need the cable to go into the switch and wire the live into a terminal. And then have another cable with the live into the other terminal and splice the neutrals together.
a) is this OK?
b) what should I do about earth? The switch and back box is plastic but the light is metal
c) for my new cable to run from the switch to the light - what should I use?
Any advice would be great.
