[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 438196, member: 6969"] I take issue with that. Using the CPC as the switched live IS unsafe, it is an un insulated cable with just the sheath to protect it. It would be a bit less unsafe, if the CPC had been used as a substitute neutral, brown for permanent L and blue for switched L. the fact that it's a brown / blue to the fan suggests it's a recent cable and also implies it is quite likely that it won't be to hard to replace it with a 3 core & E to do the job properly.
