Your Switched Live wires sometimes use colours other than brown that you would usually associate with live. The Switched Live will typically be a single feed on the other side of the switch. You will need to identify which is your Switched Live.įeed In and Feed Out will be connected together to make a complete circuit and will provide power to one side of the switch. Switched Live will provide a live feed to the light fitting when the switch is switched on.
Feed Out will be supplying a live feed to components downstream of the current switch (such as a light switch in another room).Feed In will be bringing the live feed into the back box from an upstream source (such as from your consumer unit or a light switch in another room).In a typical no neutral setup you will have 3 live wires within your back box: Safely isolate the power at the consumer unit to the lighting circuit that you will be working on and use a voltage tester to ensure that power has been properly isolated and that the circuit is safe to work on.
