I have done nothing but dig trenches and lay conduit at my apprenticeship, thank you for these.

You'd be the best person an apprentice could ask for! Great video

Straight to the point, extremely helpful!

Couldn't have done it without ya sparky Dave!!!

Hi Dave, Thanks for the vid's, they are absolutely great. A video on wiring up multiple power outlets/GPO's "say 3" would be great. Thank's

Great vids mate so helpful, keep it up

Good video - 26th Nov 22 - Melbourne - converting garage light to auto

This is gold 👍

Great one mate

I'm just trying to work out how to wire in two LED spots but will use a plug and not wire them into the mains. 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?

Cool. thanks

good job mate

Very good thank you

Pretty straight forward.ta mate

Great idea

Brilliant!!

Thanks

Your legend mate

thanks dave

Thanks bro Nice Easy Awesome accent

Thanks for your videos Can I use a 10amp switch to change a switch on an electric cooking range cheers

:) VIDEO REQUEST : Installing a Hot Water Kit (I see you have an old vid on a hot water cylinder..). Also maybe a vid diagnosing comment problems with Stoves/oven units? Good what you're doing mate! keep it up. Thanks!!

Hey mate, I have one power outlet on the garage ceiling and would like to add another one for another light fitting, how do I go about it? Cheers.

Thanks, very helpful. Is it the same process for 1200mm fluro?

Great videos, can you do one with multiple lights to 2/3 gang switch cheers

Thanks Dave great video. Just asking my place has the wires out of the wall, how do I test which wire goes to the light and which one goes back to the switchboard? Thanks

Hey SparkyDave, How do I add a plug base for an exhaust fan to an IXL Tastic.

Thanks 👍 🙏

Would love to see a demo for wiring in home automation switch modules, e.g. Shelly switch modules.

Awesome

Very good I fix my light too...can u upload how to fix pulling light for attic...& floor LED lights like in the kitchen plz

hi . After you connect the red hot wire to the middle or C terminal on the switch , do you have to connect the red wire from the light socket only into the number 1 terminal or can it go into the number 1 terminal or either one ?

Hi Dave, our single gang switches have just 1 white and one red cable connected to them. In one room, the red cable goes to socket 1 but in the second room it goes to the C socket. Which version is correct?

When will you be able to show us how to install a ceiling fan..that is one you havent done...great video!!

good my lovely brother👍

brilliant

Thank you. To the point. Is this the same for Australia?

🌺🌹❤️🥰👍

You do great vids mate, my father in law was a sparky too, and he left the house wired but never finished (30years) he only has one cable coming into the light switch, why do you think that is? I’d love to send you some pics or vid of what’s left..

thanks

is it safe to twist the copper wires if you set-up a power line for the switch?

What is loop used for? Should I not worry about it? Thanks.

Hi Dave, thanks for this. To add another batten light to the circuit, would you just feed from the first batten crimping wires into the same terminals?

Hey Sparkydave nice straight forward video mate, thanks for sharing. If you wanted to run a second, third, etc light/s that are to all turn on at the same time from the same switch, would you just connect another red, black, green wire into the same spots on the first batten fitting and on to the next light and then repeat for the third light, or is there a better way?. Cheers Andy

Can this cable size supply the 3:1 lamp heaters and fan combo. The heat bulbs are 275 watts each * 2 off

Good on ya mate

You and your hands know this well.

In the US light sockets wired in thread of light bulb is neutral button on the bottom is live brass screw live silver screw neutral consult with codes before doing electrical work

Hi,mate, can you use cable that has the current coloured wires.

Legend

so what about a second light bulb? can it be wired in series to the first?

Nice

What wire goes on the other unused hole opposite to the green on the light mount?

Hey Dave, just a question in regards to video, assuming youve opened the light switch and replacing with something alot newer, how would one determine which wire is going to the switchboard and which is going to the light, cheers

Hey Dave, to switch on my light, i have to flick the switch up. is there a way to reverse it? i could turn it 180 degrees but the red marker will be facing the wrong way and would annoy the crap out of me.

There is only a single red and black behind my switch. Loads of cables behind the ceiling battens. It seems the mains power daisy chains in a channel cut into the cement ceiling.

Hey mate, with this entire new circuit, does this have to come off an entirely new CB?

Hey there man, I just had an question on the thing you pointed out since I just started an VET course to become an electrician, I was just wondering if it matters where you put the red part in the light switch, because we had an practice session and I couldn't understand what I did wrong. Also, does the one connected to the power have to be in control and the one connected to the light bulb have to be in 1 or 2, And if not, would it still work if I were to put the red wire from the light bulb to the control and the red wire from the power to 1 or 2, would this way still work ? I also don't understand where the common, 1 or 2 is within the light switch since it wasn't pointed out in the material we use in the course. can you please give me any tips on these or any other ways to try and make it easier for me? Sorry for wasting up a bit of your time but I appreciate you trynna help us rookies, much love ❤

Hi Dave, I am in australia. Can I look at your video. Or two country with different standard.

hey bro can you make a video showing how to wire a socket for an LED downlight that comes with plug?

Hi Dave how would you wire 3 separate rooms (lighting circuit) on the one circuit? Cheers

thanks, not qualified yet, but if i do or do not try to hardwire a fluoro in the garage 🤐 at least i know how to do it propperly

Thank you for sharing. In Australia I would have to pay someone at least $150 to do this. They'll try to scare you off. :)

Hey bro, in my holder I have 5 cables, green black, red and white one and a red one again( lite one) you can help me? Where I can put the white one?

Youre here in auckland, mate?

Just a question why do u use light wire instead of switch wire

Hey Dave, for a plastic light with no earth terminal, what is the best thing to do with the earth wire at the light?

Hey bro where r u from

what a voice

How would I plug it into a 240v wall socket?

How do I wire a 6 gang light switch??

I Sorry meant number 2 terminal or either one

What happens if you put the red wire from the switchboard into the #1 and the other red wire to the light into the common by mistake

I followed like this but fuse gone . Why?

I thought Australia wire is red black green stranded wire about 2.5mm

Hi Dave it's my first week as an electrical apprentice and I'm finding my self very curious and knowing how all this is done

ok

Australian standard
