[QUOTE="barbra33, post: 503554, member: 33313"] Ok great makes perfect sense of what to do with the earth and neutral wires. In that neutral goes with neutral in a wago, and then I need another wago for the earth, and from that it goes to the spliced extension lead If i wanted to extend the length of the black and brown live wires as the amount it comes out of the projector screen is very short. Could i use the wago connector connecting brown and another connecting black to a longer piece of them which is attached to the control switch. And then the control switch would be combined to the extention lead as normal. So instead of: Projector screen brown live wire --> Control unit <--> extension lead plug socket Projector screen black live wire --> Control unit <--> extension lead plug socket Projector screen earth wire to wago <--> extension lead plug Projector screen neutral wire to wago <--> extension lead plug To: Projector screen brown live wire --> Wago + brown live wire <--> Control switch unit <--> extension lead plug socket Projector screen black live wire --> Wago + black live wire <--> Control switch unit <--> extension lead plug socket Projector screen earth wire to wago <--> extension lead plug Projector screen neutral wire to wago <--> extension lead plug [/QUOTE]
