hi so no neutrals at my switches and years ago electrician changed from pendants to recessed downlighting. So where would you look for the neutrals, should they be at the old junctions of the pendants ?
Thanks
Thanks
This is on top floor flat so have access to the attic and junction boxes at the old central light fitting. Can I ask can I just go for the easiest light fitting and pick up a neutral from there ?I would say if it was done properly, there should not really be any inaccessible joints where the old pendant was, easy to do maintenance free joints have not been around that long, so it is possible there is a joint there, but its likely non compliant.
If you want just a Neutral there will be one at each downlight obviously, if you can locate the first downlight on the circuit, you may locate the supply neutrals origin
Thanks will need to get the son up for a visit soonIf it’s the same room should be ok.
If it’s the same room should be ok.
An Attic changes things then, i was assuming the wires would be under the floor, he may have pulled the old pendant wires into the loft, but unfortunately many dont and bodge onto the old ceiling rose below which sometimes then gets boarded over, with a lower false ceiling.This is on top floor flat so have access to the attic and junction boxes at the old central light fitting.
