Great vid, only thing missing is info on what size fuse to use. Common sense would say that this is a very small electrical load so a 3 amp fuse would be the safest option to use in the plug.

Simple and useful video, thanks. I had already done this exactly, except I had mistakenly joined the LIVE wires with the terminal block. Reasoning that it didn't matter if it was live OR neutral in the terminal block, because the circuit was still opened/closed by the switch. Can anyone please explain why my way was not OK?
@AnywayUser2 жыл бұрын

@qadeemqm Жыл бұрын
The neutrals are connected in the terminal block because the outgoing neutral is connected to the neutral side of the light. The other neutral is the main feed and they bypass the switch The 2 lives need to be connected either side of the switch(common and L1) switching the light on and off. The neutral is not connected to the switch itself
@andycarter98459 ай бұрын
The switch is single pole so needs to interrupt the live, not neutral. If you think about it, when the switch is off, the lamp will still have a live feed, the interruption only happens afterwards.

Hi i have an external light that has a plug on it to turn it on and off. I want to put a switch on it. The light is plastic. Ive noticed that the wire connection has no earth wire in it, is this a problem? Do i need to rewire the the whole light to earth it? Or could i just use earthed cable from plug to switch and then leave existing cable (live and neutral) from switch to light? Or just add a switch and it will be fine?

I'm just trying to work out how to wire in two LED spots in this way. I am going to connect the spots in a circuit with one wire going to the switch. The cable I've bought has no earth. It's a metal switch. Is it necessary to have an earth? The cable that will go from the light switch to the plug also has just the live and neutral wires. Is it ok to do it all with no earths, especially considering I'm using a metal switch and a metal box?
@sophieryan39012 жыл бұрын
Under no circumstances should you wire something up with no CPC, especially something that is considered as an exposed conductive part, under fault conditions these components since being an exposed conductive part can and most likely become live, so I'd strongly go against even considering doing it.

is this the same if it was a single plug socket instead of the lightbulb. i have a plug for the washing machine behind it and the switch for that plug is above the counter to switch it on. i am trying to change the switch and it has the same back as your switch with the Comm and L1 and L2 would i wire it the same as you did in the video
