Hello I have 10 spotlights in a room.
All 10 spotlights are operated by one switch.
I would like to split the spotlights into two sets.
First Switch to operate 5 of the spotlights.
Second Switch to operate the other 5 of the spotlights.
How easy or difficult is this to do? What sort of...
Hello,
I am looking for the name of this type of circuit and how it gets wired. If it isn't too complicated it may become a DIY project but want to be able to know what I am looking at if I hire a pro. I have two 120 volt single medium lamp socket wall sconces. I want them on either side of my...
I installed an illuminated switch (switch is lit when circuit is off) for my porch light. I noticed that even when off, my LED porch lite is dimmly lit. I measured the voltage at the socket and it was 25VAC. Is this expected or did I install a faulty switch?
Hi boys and girls.
I have been flying around my house and I have been seeing a lot of two way switches used instead of when a one way is only needed. All the rooms have a single light bulb that would need controlling by a one way, but why do i have 2 ways. Their omitted the L2 and only connected...
Good afternoon!
I've recently wired a lighting system, where one light switch (a motion sensor) turns on two lights, but another motion sensor switch turns on just one.
Here is my wiring schematic: (In the schematic, the transformer connects to a 12V LED and the spotlight runs on 230V mains.)...
Hello guys.
I have a question as being in Africa for 15 years, I used to use a mustimeter to check voltages at the light switches as they got neutral and lives inside the switches, however when I moved to England I found out that there is no neutral at the switch as the neutral goes to the bulb...
Ok guys, first post so be gentle. I have a standard setup of two two way switches, one at the bottom of the stairs and one at the top so the light that they feed can be switched on/off from either switch.
What I want to do is replace these switches with smart switches. I have installed one...
Hello,
I am a DIY home owner.
1. Are the lights on this ceiling fan able to be dimmed? Do I need special light bulbs for that? Is the light control switch proper?
2. Is the existing fan dimmer switch proper to this ceiling fan?
3. If it is dimmable, what kind of lightbulbs do I need to buy?
Hi there, I'm looking to smarten up my outside floodlights to react on camera detection so I think I need to purchase a 2-gang, 2-way smart switche(s) that work with Alexa for instance.

I have 2 light switches that I want to move about 10 feet. I can’t go up or down with the wiring, so I’m thinking wiremold with 12 ga thhn . They control an inside garage light and an outside dusk to dawn light outside the garage. Can I simply extend the switch legs that way?
This is in regards to wireless light switches i posted to two other forums. Surely someone here has some experience with the switches that is willing to share. So here is the meat. I have no experience with these switches but I am considering one for the purpose of adding a switch where running...
Carried out an EICR where the lightning circuit is not earthed but like normal the customer has fitted metal chrome light switches.
The lights have the bit of 1.5 G&Y from the CU but don't go down to the switches.
Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes plastic switches that have a painted...

After a bit of diy advice….(I’m in the UK)
I’m trying to replace some grid switches for the washing machine from white to steel ones, and the wiring in the back of the white ones is L2 N2 at the top and L1 N1 at the bottom. Whereas the new ones only have COM at the top of the switch...
