The same way you wire any mains light fitting to a one way switch, Are you asking on how to wire to a light fitting in general?

So basically this is what i thought a feed to the first light from the borad then looop to the next ligt and on the last flurescent connect in the switch?

If your feeding to the light you will prob have to loop your live in connector block, If possible you could wire your feeds in/out of the light switch, then a S/L up to the first light, then just feed in and out each fitting.

No problem ben, dont worry about asking any questions, no matter how simple they may sound to others..

Remember you will need to brown sleeve the switch live (neutral) at both ends.

OK thanks for the replies so bascally this is what I would do

T+E to the first light fitting link in ma switch live wire to the phase from main board to live termialn the fitting and the neutral to the neutral block then the other sw to a connector block where i would connect my next phase from the next fitting to?

don't quite follow what you are saying, but if it is T&E fom board to connector block in fitting, live into the connector block but neutral into the fitting, then live to switch and switch live back to fitting... then yes.

Other fittings in parallel between switch live and neutral.

Hi SparkyBen,this is basic stuff you should have been taught in your 1st year as an apprentice.

I wasn't saying nothing about his ability,but stuff like this is learnt in the 1st month of college.Its not rocket science mate

 

[patricklondon]

it is a bit suprisingly basic though

 

[pushrod]

sometimes you hit things just once or twice in college and then never hit them again for months. Better that this forum is a place where apprentices / college students ( and the more experienced) can feel at ease to ask questions rather than worry that they are going to be judged for asking things they think they should already know.

The important thing is that they want to learn and are prepared to ask.

If people are mocked they won't use the forum.

well exactly push rod I did not post on here to get abuse I posted because I was unsure. Would it be better not to ask and do it wrong...I think not. What would I learn from that just to ask if i am unsure.
