Practice, Practice, Practice

Hi All,

I have set up a training wall in my shed and i am looking for some ideas on different circuits to built just as practice. I am currently training to become a spark and just wanting to put in a bit more practical as i find easier to understand. Is there any more complicated lighting circuits than two way & intermediate

. Any advise is much appreciated.

Junction box lighting, swa termination is good to practice, terminating larger cables into shower switches and cooker switches can be tricky at first, but in all honesty nothing you can possibly do in your shed is like what you find day to day in work

`borrow` some swa with glands and pyro from the college and practice terminating them.always good fun.

If you are looking for a bit of a challange try an outside lighting scenario.

Components

Time clock
photo cell
3 position switch ( on / off / auto)

For example.

Lights come on at dusk to 11.00 pm in evening

Lights come on at 7.00 am to day light.

Down lights can be a bit tricky

Also funny as it seems. You should try installing lights on the ceiling . watch your hands ake :d
