Rewiring my front room

[Lectrician]

And, just for fun, as there is so many ways the job could be done.....

If you just have two core and earth, and no 3 core and earth, how about this.......

This is how I think the wiring should look, please point my incorrect wiring out so I can amend it.

thats my question.... think now man...

I personally would use a four pole and earth junction box in this scenario - two lights and two switches, whether in one room, or in two adjoining rooms, otherwise you may find the ceiling rose a tad overcrowded, and hard to get the cover back on. makes connecting up easier too.

A suitable candidate is one of those square "outdoor type" plastic junction boxes with five terminals in them, four for the connections and one for the earths, despite the outdoor label, they are also suitable for indoor use...

geraint - you are going to look just as big a tw@ this time as you have on all the previous occasions.

Why you have decided that what this forum needs are your "contributions" IHNI, but surely not even you are so stupid that you haven't realised that you're wrong.

really? live in, live out and switch wires.. how is that over crowded when that's exactly what they are designed for?
