    wiring under cabinet strip lights supply or load

    Sounds like you have got there. If you are using two fused connection units the supply goes to SUPPLY of each FCU. The lights are the load for each one. If you are using junction boxes or flex outlet plates there is no difference between supply or load as there is no fuse to consider.

    In case you are bored with all the fuss tonight....

    Home Alone and taking the thread off course again:rolleyes::rolleyes:!o_O Happy New Year. I got 33 out of 40 but could not be bothered to do any calculations. And it is the electricity at work regulations not the electricity at work act (pedant).:)

    360 deg. motion sensing bulbs for porch

    You will have seen that bulbs that incorporate a motion sensor have the sensor on the top and so this would not detect ground motion. To have a 360° sensor it would need to be pointing downward and the body of the lamp will get in the way of this position. To have perhaps a 120° angle sensor...

    2365 coursework 615 help with table 1

    As an aside it looks like the diagram at 100% scale would fit neatly on an A3 page with 20mm margins, possibly that is the A3 at the far right of the drawing number. However not very useful for a home situation. From an A4 sheet then the dimensions would be root 2 (1.414) times larger.

Something like There is a new proposed hotel extension and cafe with a basement swimming pool, the building is to be constructed of brick cavity wall with dot and dab plasterboard and all wiring is to be run under the plasterboard...

    2365 coursework 615 help with table 1

    A4 paper is easily available and could be used as a start point. If you print on A4 then use your scale ruler and measure an internal door width and it is 762mm wide then you can be fairly sure it is right. Usually there is a starting description for the series of questions on the scenario that...

    Emergency lighting for a beginner

    Electrically fine and would work as expected. However the testing of the emergency lights should not affect the normal lighting (Strima's post #17) and in your diagram the normal lighting would be switched off when you are testing, this is very useful to the tester for checking EM lights as they...

    Why are some light fittings in my new home different to others?

    There used to be a requirement for energy efficiency that related to the building regulations that meant that some light fittings in a property needed to be forced to be energy efficient by installing a dedicated lamp holder. This has been superseded for many years now and the current building...

    Emergency lighting for a beginner

    Sorry I did get the two way wiring wrong where it joins your diagram, crossing over the conductors. Alternative version using a terminal of the DP switch for a connector only, as per Flanders post:

    Emergency lighting for a beginner

    If you were to replace the greyed out section of your wiring with the added section, try and follow how the wiring would work for both the emergency light when the key switch is operated and for when the light switch is operated. This version uses only one pole of the double pole key switch to...

    Emergency lighting for a beginner

    You are approaching the right wiring but there are still a few areas that need attention. You are drawing a set of four lights that are two way switched. However in your original post you wanted a two way key switch, in general two way switching for normal lighting is not integrated into the key...
