Hi Tom and guys

Thanks so much for your advice! I have it all working perfectly by
following your wiring instructions.

I am in Australia, most devices comply to the IEC wiring colours
brown, blue and green with yellow stripe. The house uses the old red,
black and green coding, which was in use here until at least 1969 from
what I understand.

Thanks again!

Cheers

In addition, "Switch Neutral" should be identified by a piece
of black electrical tape or a Black band applied with permanent
marker as a "Black" wire, it is interrupting the hot side of
the circuit which is all black wire. Never get the switch
involved with the White (neutral) side of a circuit. FYI:
the practice of marking the White wire as Black is both OK by
code and considered "good workmanship" by most folks.
