Hi .In this video explains the 3 systems of lighting circuits used in the UK . I concentrated on particular one where all cables are connected at the switch . It's much more convenient if you prefer to install spotlights instead of ceiling rose with bulb. Hope it helps with your home projects. Thanks for watching.

I think it's important to wire an electrical circuit in a manner that is easy to maintain and access so when designing and installing this should be taken into account. There is no need to install junction boxes when not necessary so in domestic I would prefer to see the first method (loop in and out). Good clear explanation in this video.

Not many electrition explain them selfs properly but you do thanx. I'm running cable for spots, under cupboard lights and two ceiling rose lights all in the kitchen I like your way of connecting the power straight to the spots but because I'm doing cupboard lights and ceiling rose I got confused so I'm using junction boxes for spots and cupboard lights onto ring . Good video .

@@grantmp5365 Your light fixture should have 3 wires. Black, white, and bare copper. Attach black to black (Hot / live wire), Attach white to white (Neutral wire), and attach the copper wire (ground wire) from the wall to the green grounding screw in the box, then attach the bare copper wire from the light fixture to the copper wire in the box.

Hi. I am using the switch connecting system, as I want to install a number of downlights. This is straightforward with the exception that I want to incorporate two way switching using 3 core and earth. Where previously I would intend wiring the brown wire from the power in cable to the Common, in the video the black wire from the 3C&E is wired to Common. Can you please describe the correct wiring in this situation. Thanks

Note that the three vertical cables to each switch must be chased into the wall. Thus rewiring with this switch loop method requires more work as most traditional UK properties have conduit in the wall that permits only one or max two cables.

Hi, old vid but just come across it, hopefully you can advise? In my garage I have a consumer unit and out of the bottom of the consumer unit there is a cable direct to the light switch. Then out of the top of the consumer unit there is a cable direct to light... I want to extend for a new light and switch but not sure what I do with this arrangement I have?

Am I the only person that is questioning this. Is the switch connection essentially wired in series because if the first switch is not working than the others upstream from it doesn't work too because only the first one is connected to the feed.

Hi there Sir I have a question and am asking this questions to other viewers too who already watched the video. In the video shows the real wiring with a sticker shows that previous room, light & next room. My question is that does the previous room means the connection came from consumer unit???? Please answer this question. If anyone answer this question I will really appreciate it Thanks
@JayAP2024
@JayAP2024 5 жыл бұрын
It can be either previous room or consumer unit, eg if the example in the video was the first switch, the label would have said "consumer unit" but in this case its coming from the previous room/switch.

No need for junction boxes. Just go straight with the feed to the first switch and then loop it to another and so on.

Again - just part of the information required to do the job correctly. What next DIY brain surgery?? SO much info missing, stop encouraging people to do what might kill them - most house fires are from dodgy diy electrics. This work must only be done by a Part P registered, qualified electrician. It's the law!!!
