Wiring a new light switch
By blacks, I meant the one coming into the box, and the one that is
part of the new switch. I optimistically, naively, (foolishly?) tried joining them together along w the blue. Got pretty LED lights on the switch, but nothing from the bulb. So I've taken the advice given here and returned the thing for a far less pretty manual spring timer similar to the one in the link provided by Jeff Wisnia. After a small issue with the new unit not wanting to fit into the existing box (persuaded with hammer, my favourite tool) the whole thing works like a charm. And the wife somehow confuses my for someone who is handy around the house, but this and a few low voltage lights in the garden has been enough to earn a golfing pass for tomorrow morning. A satisfactory outcome all round. Thanks! Dave |
