How to wire a Pull Switch

[JohnW2]

..supporting the OP in his belief that it's perfectly OK for him to not be ***ed to do things properly because somebody else can be relied on to do for him what he cannot be bothered to do for himself.

It's been sorted. Why go off on one now?

You're obviously having a quiet/boring day.

Kind Regards, John

No, I am obviously doing what I have done before, and will continue to do until my dying day, which is to object to people being supported in their belief that it's perfectly OK for them not to bother to do things properly because they can just leave it for others to finish the job for them.

I bet they do.

No they don't or I would have put them on, all the instructions had was a photo of the light not the wiring.

I think maybe you should get a life, the reason I came on here to ask is so that it can be done properly, as for not being bothered, why would I ask in the first place.

Thank god there decent helpful people on here like John and securesparks to guide others, as this is why these forums exist.
rant over thanks to all that helped

Years of experience suggest that his 'getting a life' is unlikely to ever happen - he seems very content with the life he is living. Do you realise that the thing he was moaning about your 'not being bothered to do properly' in that quote was posting pictures in this forum?!

Surprises me noones mentioned the polarity of the lampholder which looks possibly ses

Would like to see them still

Valid point - although I somewhat doubt that the OP would have the means (other than by dismantling the lampholder) of confirming (or otherwise!) that our assumption/guess about the polarity of the black/white is correct.

Hi John ... This is everything in the box, except for the shade, hope you can help now.

It would be easier/neater if you have got, or can get, a 4-segment connector block. Alternatively, you could use a separate 1-segment bit for the earth. Something like ....

It does not help when the instruction direct you to wrap the connection in insulation tape!

The instruction are very vague and not much help.
But seems to confirm white is neutral and black is line.

By the way you never answered me questions regarding the power source

Sorry if I didn't explain it properly, I attaching it to a wall plug.

Do you mean a flexed plug and socket arrangement or are you connecting directly to a socket outlet?

In each case you will have to select a suitable sized fuse to protect the flex/cable. This may mean popping a 3A fuse in a plug or could mean fitting a 3A fused connection unit (assuming the socket is not of a lighting circuit).
Also if you have buried any cables in walls, they will need to be routed in the safe zones or mechanically protected, there will also be RCD protection to consider.

Sorry , yes to a flex plug.

But could that be in the Instructions, which he seems reluctant to post.

Afaik the latest reg 553-03-04 regarding edison screw holder polarity reads different now, whereass before it was only regarding older non BS ones, not sure if it concerns SMALL ES ones nowadays

would appreciate your interpration of it please
