Ey up,
Did a quote for re-wiring a kitchen. That was straightforward enough but the client wanted replacement dimmer switches fitting to an existing 3 gang, light switch. OK, easy enough, but he's had an extension to the back of the house providing a large dining area off the kitchen. Whoever did the electrical work, ran the light circuit for the extension lights from the kitchen ring main (stepped down via 3A FCU), but then provided two way switching back to the existing kitchen light switch.
Now, I've never come across lighting configured that way before - not what I'd have done, but the light switch now contains a connection to the kitchen ring main (via FCU) and the downstairs lighting circuit.
Again, not what I'd have done, but is it wrong?? What does the collective think??
