[QUOTE="ItsSimon, post: 522025, member: 32831"] Hi, I am looking to install a few smart light switches in my home, and think I have it mostly figured out. I know normally that a lot of UK homes do not have the neutral wire in the light switch socket, but upon looking in some of mine, it looks like they do, but are ended in a brick. Can someone please confirm (first image - the second image does also have this but I didn't take it at the right angle), and if so (obviously once isolated) would it be ok to disconnect them from the brick and put them into the neutral socket? In the first image, I gather where the two brown wires are going in, that is the COM (always live) and the single brown wire is switched live? And for the second image (it is a 3-gang switch), I was wondering if you could help me make sense of this... I am not sure why there is a brown wire connecting each one? Thank you! [/QUOTE]
