[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 525011, member: 250"] An electrician would have a comprehensive grasp of:- Feed in from CU.. Feed out to further lights on the circuit.. Feed out to multiple lights that should operate together.. Loop at fitting and/or loop at switch.. One-way, Two-way or Intermediate switching.. Ensuring all CPC's are connected as required.. Be well aware that DIY'ers may have used inappropriate cable colours for some functions.. Be well aware that some sleeves marking switched lives could have been omitted / fallen off.. Then based on what they see or don't see apply the above knowledge to figure out how to get it reconnected.. Then decide if they want a tea or coffee in aprox 20 or 30mins once the job is done.. You need to identify which conductors are permanent lives, switched lives and neutrals.. the golden rule is Assume EVERYTHING is wrong until proved correct with suitable test meters.. [/QUOTE]
