Ceiling rose wiring

[EFLImpudence]

Yes, it's blindingly obvious.

Well, I wouldn't say that.

The switch is fed, live and neutral.

Maybe the light is fed and the supply was wanted at the switch.

Perfectly normal way of doing things, ensures good economic use of cable as it minimises cable runs.

If you say so.

It's a technique I occasionally use when running cables is difficult, if it makes the job easier - for a start it has meant running one cable above the ceiling and down the wall instead of two.

Has the advantage of there being a usable perm live, sw live and neutral at both the switch and light, which MAY come in handy when adding future extensions, whatever they may be.
