2 permanent live wires
1 blue wire connected to neutral

Hey guys I’m new here and really scratching my head on this.
Bought a new light and had to change the ceiling rose to accommodate. Took a pic of the old rose, made sure to follow the connections in the picture in the new terminal block, and now the light stays on constantly...
I’m replacing an old bathroom fan/light and not sure on wiring because the new one is different.
Currently it is controlled with two switches, one light one fan. The power running into it consists of Ground , neutral-white, black, and red.

I have an envirovent fan that I'm replacing that is connected to its own switch (ie not the light) . The current wiring has a live and neutral. The SIL100T model seems to have Live AND Live Switched and Neutral. As I only have the two wires can I just use a short piece of wire (from an old plug...
Hi. Has anyone tried the Atoko Fan Select (ATQ6-03)? Its supposed to be an extractor fan timer so you can get delayed start and run-on using a standard fan. They say you can also override the delay and run-on by switching the light - does that really work?
I’m currently upgrading my bathroom suite and was wanting to remove the old style pull chords style switches for the fan and light for a switch. They will be mounted well outside the zone 2 area in the bathroom so do I need to take any ip rating into account as well. Many thanks
I wonder if you can help I've just had a EICR on a property and I've received a C2 due to the fact the down-lights aren't IP rated. Having sat the BS 7671 some years ago the BS tells me that the zone 2 height is 2.25m. The ceiling in question is 2.3m. Appreciating it's advisable and I'll swap...

My very well off customer wants the most quiet ceiling mounted extractor fan there is. They have stipulated that cost is not a barrier and they just want something quiet.
I have used one extremely quiet fan in the past, but it simply didn't do it's job, so that's pointless. This fan still needs...

I design bathrooms and I'm wondering if it's possible to use the same ceiling lights supplied by both a manual switch and a flush ceiling pir going through a concealed dimmer as a night light.
Looking at most PIRs and from what I understand, if the bathroom rocker switch L1 supplies the lights...
Hi All,
Need advise on something.
I have seen a diagrem somewhere showing that we cant have any electrical socket near the washbasin/tub etc. However when visiting my friend's house, which is a new build, I saw that the electric tap for the wash basin had a sicket just below the washbasin...
Hi, I need to replace an old extractor fan in a house I rent out. The bathroom has a lot of black mould on the ceiling and I'm wanting to prevent this from happening again. A fan with a humidistat that turns on when it gets too humid sounds like a good idea but is it as easy as just replacing...

My wife wants me to add an outlet in a large closet. It would be easy to feed the outlet from a bathroom outlet that is on the other side of the wall. However, I've read that the US electrical code does not allow connecting outlets in other rooms to a circuit that feeds bathroom outlets. Why...
