Morning all,
Straight to the question - in a one-way switch, does it matter if the permanent live and switched live connections are not the right way round?
I'm shifting a light switch before redecorating a bedroom. I've dropped new cable for the new switch location. To save time I could just cut into the old cable in the loft and connect it to the new cable drop, but I wouldn't be able to tell which wire was permanent live and which one was switched (the cable is twin red and earth)
If it's important for the permanent live to be in the right place then I'll run new cable to the ceiling rose.
Cheers,
Chris.
