Discuss Adding an Inline LightWave RF Dimmer Switch in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net

OP saying lights,shaver and mirror all work of pull switch! in the wiring instructions for the lightwave inline dimmer it does state the all wiring should be done by a qualified person, its a job that will take about 5 min for some one that Knows what they are doing and would not cost a lot of money, its not hard for some one to work out what is a P,L and a S,L and they would not need to test it live to work it out, I think if you are thinking of doing that you should get some one in, but saying that from light fitting just trake back cables you will be able to work out L&N from pull cord find P,L and the rest will be plane sailing, have fun and try not to work live

Many thanks Egg67 and all of the other contributors. I took the time today with the help of a second person to determine which of these blocks were the permanent live and which were the switched live and after understanding that in my head together with your helpful comments the job went very smoothly and all is working well.

I think what really threw me was the fact that the pull cord had a live going through it which was both red and black coming out of the other side and also the 4 core cable.

Thanks again

Darren
