Don't reach for the light switch in the dark!

Found this little gem in a council house tennants garden shed, whilst I was checking out all their DIY add-ons prior to a CU change.



To turn the light on just twist the wires together!

I fitted a light switch today and it didn't have even 1 wire:O

Have I done something wrong? It seems to work though

It was a Byron "Home Easy" RF switch and pendant receiver

Someone had drilled a hole in the kitchen wall pushed a flex through from outside, stuck a plug on one end and put a 4-way extension in the shed.

Light was fed from a plug on the 4 way extension. A switch was fitted and then left unplugged to wait for the tennant to plug in again.

It's not my idea just what we're contracted to do.
