Bathroom Light Only Has Live And Neutral
It's odd for a switch to have "Live" and "Neutral" markings. Usually the poles of the switch are symmetrical, they are "live" and "switched live" but only after you connect wires to them. At some point this week I need to tackle installing an extractor fan in our bathroom as it currently doesn't have one.
The directions state it needs a live, neutral and a switched live feed as it has a timer, from the lighting ring. The original wiring has switch-leg pair (hot-switch & neutral) in as well as similar out, so there should be a second light operating off the same switch. If there is no other light, you should identify which wire pair is live and which wire pair is dead.
So attempted to fit a new bathroom light and completely stuck,the new light only requires a live and neutral wire and there was only 2 wires Connected to the old light however no indication for it,so I have a blue wire,a red wire coated in brown and a black wire coated in brown,which is N and. No earth wire for new bathroom light. by Drogers Wed Nov 04, 2020 8:03 pm Hello all, I have a new light to fit in the bathroom that needs earthing but there is only the live and neutral wires.
I have sourced where there is an earth wire in the loft (pic) and tested to make sure it's actually earthed. To determine if you have a Neutral, you must first disable the live circuit from your electrical junction box to your switch. For the load you are verifying.
Electrical Replacing Light Pendant with Light Fitting - Live and Neutral Backwards? Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.26 PM Hi guys, Recently moved house and have noticed that the current light fitting in the bathroom isn't IP44 rated, and isn't flush against the ceiling, so I'm looking to replace it. I have just bought a nice new light fitting for a bathroom (it is the appropriate bathroom "zone"). however on inspection, I notice it only has two terminals (does not have an earth terminal).
This is presumable made for fittings to work of a junction box with only the switch (live) and neutral going to the fitting. 0 My current light switch are only wired with 2 cables: live (black) + ground (white). These is also a neutral in the box, not directly connected to the switch at the moment.
I want to replace my switch by a new one, which has 2 live wire connections. How am I supposed to handle these 2, since I apparently only have 1 live wire? Can I even do it?
