    Sleeving on Stapper Cable

    I am about to change two, two way switches which have the old colours Red, Yellow and Blue for the strapper cable, only the black switched live to the ceiling rose has a piece of red tape on it to idenitify switched live, should the Yellow and Blue also have red table on with these also being live.

    Batten Lamp Holders

    I need to replace an Ashley Batten lamp Holder which has been in use over 20 years, went for MK but appear to poor quality and not much space for the wiring once the lamp holder is slotted into the base, the slightly different Ashley Hager appears to be much better, does anyone have any...

    Great thanks Richard, would it be worth while have both hot and cold pipes under the bath bonded or does it just need the cold.

    Earth Bonding In Bathroom.

    I recently removed the bath panel for replacement and noticed the earth bonding is wired on the cold pipe then to a leg on the cast iron bath and then to the radiator, there is no cable going to the consumer unit, is this correct and is it actually doing anything by not being connected to the...

    Two Way Switch

    Thanks for the info, none of the conductors have the sleeving to indicate they are live is it ok to add brown sleeving as these are the old colours or would red insulating tape be better.
