Discuss Help needed for double light switch in the Lighting Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

obviously somebodger had joind it somewyere.
 
Hi, ty I moved blue over to the other port & it works great. I have also cleaned up the wire ends so there's no exposed copper wire.

Also yes its earthed to the metal case.

I thought it was just the case of moving the blue wire & turn the switch round, but I wanted to double check to make sure.

One last thing. Is flex cable safe to use in this way? I know it should be the 1.6mm calling for the lights. But the odd thing is, the wire that comes out of my walls for wall lights & the ceiling is the correct grey 1.6mm wire.

Thanks again :0)

The cable used normally when wiring up lights is a 1.5mm/1mm flat sheathed cable.

It’s hard to say if is safe without inspecting it properly. Is every switch wired with this flex? Would need to look in the board and do some testing.
 
Hi,your first point of call,is your landlord and not a forum. I trust you will be as open and descriptive,in your explanation to the landlord or his spark....
