intermediate switching

[spirited away]

a rampant rottweiler will do the job of frightening away.

had one had to do the kindest thing she had massive cancer tumours. And was very soft.

As alluded to above, three core & Earth cable is not necessary for two-way and intermediate switching. Just don't wire it in the conversion method but use the traditional method.

But watch out for the borrowed neutral

yes she would be doing that but mainly in the winter its more for security if I'm out and she thinks she can hear a noise downstairs she can turn lights on and frighten any one away.

MK do a switch that connects to a sensor that you fit in the light fitting, no wiring multiple switching options, last time I bought one the sensor was about£50 and the switch was about £40. You could do this with all your lighting in the house no mess

I was only ever taught and shown the three core method so imagine my surprise when i come to an eicr last week to find twin and earth....absolutely baffled me until i called a switched on..pun intended colleague who educated me on the like

Nothing like being switched on is there?

I would think it's the most common way of it being wired here. The conversion method's not as popular here as in England.

Same, Im going to have to think about this....!

I'm guessing... Jb or 3plated at light, perm live down to one switch in common, switched live down to common at other switch, 2 core s trappers between switches

Doesn’t even need to be 3 plate system..
Works same way with LN loop through switch method.. Saves having unnecessary wires and connectors in back boxes

It was annoying i drew it out and everything and kept saying logically....it should work....but i kept telling myself as i had never seen a two way without 3 core as strippers it had to be wrong...always good to keep on learning

I'm thinking of using 35mm back boxes do you think they will be deep enough.

Personally I would play safe & go for 46/47mm. Also why not 1.0mm?

I'm with Tel on this one..
quinetic will solve the problem

 

[telectrix]

for the benefit of anyone without pirate's knowledge, we have a fore mast, a main mast, and a mizzen mast. any one of these can be classed as intermediate, each will propel the ship, but lose one and you're in the fertilizer.

 

[pirate]

especially if you lose the jack-stay betwixt the main and mizzen...

 

[telectrix]

especially if you lose the jack-stay betwixt the main and mizzen...

perish the thought. losing a jack-stay is even worse than losing a pair of sidecutters down a void.

Recently I did just that...dropped my favourite Bahco adjustable down a cavity wall...
Using a length of terylene cord, fastened through a hole on a magnet salvaged from a hard drive (with a round turn and 2 half-hitches) I dropped the magnet down the cavity and it found the tool immediately, and up it came!
Very chuffed, I was...especially as it was a new wrench, which i had to buy because a wet-pants "borrowed" my original one

 

[telectrix]

so the retrieved wrench can be initiated by bashing said plumber behind the ear. then you'll have 2 wrenches and a chastised wet-pants. winner.
