[QUOTE="ElectricAlex, post: 474337, member: 30888"] Ok so I have in the photos three wires: Earth = Green and yellow. Positive = Red Black = Switched Live According to my link: [B]"In 1999 it became apparent that a new European standard for wiring and cable colours meant that the UK would have to change fixed wire insulator colours. As a result, old UK wiring colours were required to change the red live wire and a black neutral wire."[/B] From read this the house is 1984 - so would not neutral will be black? Why would you say black is [B]switched live [/B]here? ** BTW [I]I have no doubt you are right [/I]I am just trying to understand this for myself! Appreciated! ** [/QUOTE]
