[QUOTE="myksterx, post: 503480, member: 32956"] Thanks for all the input lads. This job was completed safe and sound. i now have another snag on this job i have purchased what i think to be 2x inline wifi switchs. i thought to myself simply adding it in as a “break” in the circuit operated by the power going to my leds would do it. Evidently not. Ive never done a switch before. I am confused. this is my scenario; 1.5mm coming out of fuse spur. i just snipped the 1.5mm wire. added Live to L added Neutral to N (Coming from the fuse spur) then i need to recouple the wire going to my daisy chain of gu10 leds that i snipped. the other 2 available slots on my Wifi switch is L- S ive tried alsorts. None of which brings any power to my switch to turn on any lights in the module which then would let me connect via wifi app on my phone. no power to the module = cant go any further is there something i am doing wrong? i always thought if i add live to live and neutral to neutral then the switch or module should show some signs of life this is the link to item: [URL="https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124339761252"]https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124339761252[/URL] im aware its a dimmer switch etc. i just dont understand why no power is going to it?
