Extending a hall light switch.

Whoever did that was a ***t; it is not allowed.

In the OP's shoes I'd now be a bit worried about what else that ***t might have done elsewhere....

Thanks everyone, thought that what the sleeving was will get some.

Might get my mates dad up (sparky) to check everything over to be on the safe side.

Do that.

And make it clear that you want a proper job for which you'll pay a proper price - use your relationship to guarantee trustworthiness, not a freebie.

Hi can i just run something past someone

Installed the wires and both light work and both switches work. But is this correct

Landing -

L1: Red + brown (line)
L2: Black + Black (switched line)
Com: Grey
Earth - connected to back of box

Hallway (2 way switch)

Red - L1 (first section)
Black - Com (first section)
Earth - Connector Block

Brown L1
Black L2
Com Grey
Earth - Connector Block*

*Hallway is in a plastic dryling box and plastic switch



Both grey and black cables have brown sleeving on them

Looks right to me. Have you sleeved the CPCs (earths)?

 

[JordanBlack]

Yes i have

As stated i wanted to add a further light down the hall so i needed to move the wiring as the same in the landing i.e

Was this-

Landing

L1: Red + brown (line)
L2: Black + Black (switched line)
Com: Grey
Earth - connected to back of box

Hallway (2 way switch)

Red - L1 (first section)
Black - Com (first section)
Earth - Connector Block

Brown L1
Black L2
Com Grey
Earth - Connector Block*

Now the hall lighting is like this

Hallway (2 way switch)

L1: Red + brown (line)
L2: Black + Black (switched line)
Com: Grey
Earth - Connector Block*

Brown L1
Black L2
Com Grey
Earth - Connector Block*

Hall Switch (1 gang further down the hall)

Brown L1
Black L2
Com Grey
Earth - CB (Plastic)

All earths are sleeved and the grey and black are sleeved brown
