SW Sleeving

[New2Game]

When you put brown sleeving on a switch wire to indicate it is a switch wire, do you put sleeving so it completly covers the blue or just enough to indicate it is a SW?

A longer length will be less likely to fall off.

How can it come off?
I tighten the screws on my switch terminals so e wire cant come out

So which is best, short piece or full length piece?

If you're a tight a*** like me, then use a short bit!
Seriously - it really doesn't matter as long as it's there!

Half an inch is fine.

Too much looks stupid and can get in the way in a multi gang etc.

i generally think its better that you can see the underlying color, makes it much easier to tell which wire is which (esepcially important with multiway switching or arrangements where one permanent live serves multiple switched lives)
