[QUOTE="kevb1, post: 511058, member: 33841"] Hi all. So my missus wants the living room decorating using brushed steel screwless switches. 2 way switching for the main light but none of my lights in my house are earthed. I swopped the switches for the new ones and all worked normally except one of the faceplates felt a bit "strange". On investigation it turns out that it carried a low voltage. The cable from switch to switch is 3 core + E and it turns out that the earth wire was providing the voltage to the faceplate even though it is not connected anywhere. How might this be possible? Any ideas please? [/QUOTE]
