Flourestent light problem

[Ben1127]

Ok think I got it, confusing myself here, so correct me if I'm wrong,
First terminal - all browns from supply/next light/switch
Second terminal - brown & white plus the blue switched live from switch
Third terminal - all earths
Fourth terminal - all blues from supply/next light

You don't connect the switch to the 4th terminal

You don't connect the switch to the 4th terminal

Oops typing mistake, have changed it, is this correct now

Follow these instructions, I have edited my last post though.
If all light are to be switched by the same switch line.

First terminal - all browns from supply/next light/switch

Incoming live (brown) to the spare with the live going to switch common.

Second terminal - brown & white plus the blue switched live from switch

Blue returning from switch (sleeve this brown, to identify it) then connect this to the live side of the lamp (brown/white terminal)

Third terminal - all earths

Yes

Fourth terminal - all blue from supply/next light/switch

All blues other than the switch line of course. These are neutrals and will not be connected across the switch unless it is a double pole switch.

Then you connect other lights across the switch live and neutral.
The lights will all be operated by the same switch then.
If switching individually, you link across the fittings using the loop live (incoming at term one), rather than the switch line, neutral is the same, then drop switches for each light as explained above.

Is this right, and all earths to the earth terminal.

The live to the next light needs to connect to the terminal you have labelled 'L' (along with the sleeved blue) for it to be switched with the same switch.

It will then work but the terminal you have labelled S/W would be better labelled 'Loop' or 'Permanent live'
