If you have:

- all the neutral (black) wires are joined together
- all the earth wires are joined together
- the three live (red) wires going to switch terminals
- a wire linking the two the switches

Yes, that's exactly how it looks :-).

Also, there are some main circuit cables (looks like 3 core and earth)
running above the downlights through the joists. They are not
touching the lamp but are close enough to concern me, what termperature
is this PVC outer sheeth of this cable typically rated to?

I notive the wires which go to the lampholder have a fabric like
sheeth, is this rated to higher temperature than PVC outer sheeth of
2/3 core and earth cable.


And finally, is it ok to use green/yellow electrical tape to cover the
"supply cpc" or must I use sleeving complying with BS 2848 to meet Reg.
