    A friend had a contractor remove a half wall with 2 can lights, multiple 3 way switches and a receptacle. By the time I was involved everything was disconnected and 3 cables of 12-3 were hanging out of the ceiling along with several cables of 12-2. There are a lot of things going on in this...

    UK Click mode switches and new grid system are great

    First try using the new Click Mode switches today, and I love the way that every light switch is automatically a grid switch. That means you can buy a light switch and change the modules to whatever you like. I was fitting an outside light and was able to swap out one of the switches on a two...

    Schneider board main switch TP-N and 4-pole

    How do you wire double bakelite switches with three wire connector screws

    So yes I have three bakelite double switches 1 of a different brand but both types have only three connectors for wires. Is it simply one main live in (and which would that be?) and two live outs for each of the switches. And I guess the neutrals come off the lights and can be joined together...
