So harry, it seems your entire argument is simply one of semantics. You
would wire a lighting circuit the same as anyone else, but like to argue
that the junction box you use at each lighting position is not one so
that you can claim their use is in some way deprecated.

Say you were wiring lighting positions that consist only of
downlighters, no ceiling roses?




Obviously harry would use a bit of terminal block to connect the spare
wires and hide it behind one of the lights back boxes or in the ceiling.

If the fitting had only a twin terminal block,/ I would substitute it for a triple.

He appears to think you need three core cable for two way lighting for
some odd reason.


What do yo suppose this for ****-fer-brains.

you don't "need" it. but for the drop to the switch it's tidier than 2 2
cores: L, Sw1 & SW2.

It is my understanding that cables that need sleeving even in the old
red & black colours that the sleeving should use the unified colours.


B***r. Of course by "red" I meant "live".
Just as you say "green light" to mean "proceed light" regardless of
the fact that the bottom traffic light isn't actually green.

But harry can't do it that way as he doesn't use junction boxes so where
would he wire in the second switch and/or intermediate?
