    AM2 Lighting

    Through crimps are permanent joints,not connector blocks. Therefore no need to fix them. Even choc boxes have a peg to keep the block in place.

    AM2 Lighting

    If neutrals were supposed to be at switches you'd have neutral terminals on them. People are saying that they put floating blocks in the back of switch boxes is a no-no for me. Ws always taught to use fixed base connectors, and you can't do that in a switch box. there are two wiring methods for...

I think in the old days a lot more installations were wired in conduit, even domestic, therefore neutral to switches very rarely needed, maybe for a neon, then...
