It's
amaizing that we are all doing some kind of wiring at home, and still we
don't
have any instructions, images, schematics on our web site.
Can
someone write simple instructions with images and schematics, how we should
wire
lighting properly.
It's
obvious that there are so many qualified people in the group, but because
we
don't have any guides permanent on site, same questions come up again and
again,
as someone is doing wiring and needs information.
Cheers,
Nik
Andy,
Yes this is
generally correct for 99% of the time, the convention as a
general rule
is
to wire the live as red, the switched live (or return)
as the black and
the
earth, if needed. However, as I have discovered
over time many sparks
seem
not in the least bit interested in
convention!
If you are
re-wiring
>from
i.e. three plus earth as this gives you the
flexibility to chop and
change
things behind the scenes without ripping
up walls etc. Were I to re-wire
for HA this is probably what I'd try to
do, whether it's acceptable
practise or not is another matter! :/
