I'm seeing 1 gang wifi light switches with L1 L2 L3 and the images below suggest that the L2 and L3 just run separate lights nothing to do with 2-way, can anyone confirm this having no experience with such lighting.
I can't figure out the light switches in my hallway. I thought it would be an easy job to replace them and now I've spent all weekend and still failing. The old switches (built in 1959) have terminals on the top and bottom and all screws are brass where the new rocker switches have them on the...
Been round to a mates this morning fitting these things. He bought them new, manufactured by Clipsal, from some online electrical store £150 quid!
Took a few photos to show you what I mean, and how fiddly they are.
so there’s 2 x 1 gang and 1 x 2 gang to fit. Dark wooden surround, and a bag...
Anyone know if you can incorporate a Quinetic remote switch into a standard two way or intermediate set up? Looking at 2 way switching for outside lights on a shed plus a remote switch at house.
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...
Hi All
Am on a job tomorrow and while there customer wants me to investigate newly installed 24v LED tape lights that keep flashing on and off. These are on a wall mounted dimmer. If tape lights and transformers are both dimmable which apparently they are this suggests problem is with the...
I’m a bit of novice but trying to fit a new ceiling light in a room where there are two switches. I have taken off the current light fitting and as you’ll see in the picture one of the black wires is going to neutral and the other to live. My guess is the one that is going to live is the...
Hi guys. New to the forum and was hoping to get some advice from people who know what they are doing.
Is it ok to share switches for other systems. For example: I want to tap in to the headlight switch on my car so when I turn on my headlights it also activates another system. I would also like...
Sorry if this is long winded but I need help figuring out the electrics on a go kart I've built the kids.
It's a 24v 240w motor powered by 2 12v 7ah SLA batteries wired in series, 24v speed controller brought from ebay, 6 pin forward / reverse switch, cordless drill trigger attached to foot...
Hi everyone, I'd like to say hi as this is my first post.
Along with many other folks out there, I have been making use of the lock-down time to get on with some DIY projects. One of these is to change the dated spot light wall fitting over the bed. It has 2 spots, each operated by a separate...
Two light switch buttons have fallen off of the switches. If I place the switch back in place, I can switch the light on and off, and I can see where the plastic on the button has broken. Is this something I can simply replace by buying a replacement button, and clicking it in place, or should I...
Is it possible to get rid of one light switch and extend the wiring into another so that this one controls all the lights? I’m knocking 2 rooms into one in my loft. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Hello! Complete novice here. I'm changing a plastic light switch to a metal one. There's a metal back box. I intend to run the earth cable from the wall into the back of the light switch faceplate. Then run another earth cable from the faceplate to the back box. Is it as simple as screwing in...
I've got 2 double switches to wire for 2 hallway lights. Each switch has cable connecting to one light then cable between the 2 backboxes, which says strap on it. How do I wire the double switches so they can turn each light on and off?
Greetings!
I'm looking some exploded views of the N20, N40 and N80 rotary cam switches from Telux (Benedict & Jäger). Some of my customers tried to repair their switches and there are some parts missing, so I'm looking for part numbers and their exploded view. If you can share the information or...
I installed a smart dimmer switch in my dining room, which worked fine. The next day, I installed the same type of switch in my kitchen. Not only did it not power on, I noticed that the light switch in the dining room no longer turns on, and that the light switch in my foyer no longer works...
