Looking at a ceiling rose there are three sets of connector blocks labeled
live, loop and neutral - 2/3/2 respectively. This is fine if you have a light/switch, light/switch setup, say, but if you're wanting two lights operated from the same switch where does the live wire go that feeds the second light? Top folks on here helped me understand how to wire it all up - that's not the problem. The problem is that the live connector (live out to socket, live in from switch) has only two connectors and I have three wires (one goes to the second light). I could just bung two wires in one connector but I'd worry about the connection being sound. I could just use the live connectors for the loop wiring (live in, live out to switch) and the loop connectors for the live out to socket, live in from switch, live out to second light. However, this would be non-standard, plus the labeling in the rose would be wrong (misleading). I'd worry about killing some poor electrician/DIYer in the future because I've made a set of connectors permanently live that shouldn't be :-S Thoughts? -- john "Technology is dominated by two types of people: those who understand what they do not manage, and those who manage what they do not understand." - Putt's Law |
