Does anyone know a way of (safely) identifying the 'switch live' balc cable running out of a ceiling light fitting? I have mixed the 3 black wires up!!!
put choc blocks on each single black and put a proximity voltage detector near each one in turn operate switch then when tester goes on / off as switch does you have found it
It's that old arguement that I have seen many times b4 breezer!
Posters have said that meters are cheap and freely available and if you're mucking about with wiring, it pays to acquaint yourself with one........I'm of this school of thought.
For around 10 - 15 quid you can get a basic multimeter from a DIY shed and anyone with basic DIY skills should be able to work out via the instructions how to carry out the basic tests.
If they are not confident doing this, then they should leave electrics alone, no?
You can do it without a meter with battery, bulb and bit of bellwire, but I s'pose you're going to tell me that they won't know how to do that, either!
