• Looking for a smarter way to manage your heating this winter? We’ve been testing the new Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 to see how quiet, accurate and easy it is to use around the home. Click here read our review.

What I thought was an easy Lighting job!

I was taught to mark them all because if for whatever reason you loose the marking on the switch wire you end up with 3 un-marked cables.
 
Well, I use a notch for the switch cable and leave the others alone. If it's a switched feed, it has a nick down the cpc.

UNLESS...it's a weekend, when I notch the feeds, leave the switch cable alone & paint any switched feeds with No7 Dusky Pink nail varnish.

If I'm feeling daring, I tie condoms to the cables, with a similar colour code to TT.

UNLESS... it's a bank holiday (rare this one) then I rush off the job early, leaving no markers, and have to bell them all out the next working day...
