Promised I'd replace the neighbours PIR light outside their garage. One look at the quality of the installation in there (Pic 1) told me what he soon confimed "yeah, a young lad I used to know from the pub did it for me a few years ago. I think he was training". Hmm. Anyway it was on a B32, extended from an existing house RFC- continuity of which was surprisingly still there. However, it goes to show the importance of visual. Pic 2 is a floating JB that I just had to open - straight off the 2.5mm RFC, unfused twin live 1.0mm (amazing that whoever did this had twin brown!) as a switch drop, then returned to a 5ft florry with the neutral via ths JB. This had nothing to do with the outside light - I found that in Pic 3 - more of that twin brown (with some blue masking tape to loosely inicate the neutral) unfused off the back of the socket below.
Anyway, 5 minute job takes me a good few hours. JB removed and replaced with 5a unswitched FCU, supplying rewired internal and external lighting. Oh and I even levelled up the sockets - neighbourly relations and all.
