The most basic circuit with only two wires at the switch. The neutrals are connected together using a terminal connector. Two way switching 2 wires. You can also see that another live and neutral wire go to the next. This wiring diagram shows how all houses and most of commercial lighting installations are wired these days. L and n indicate the supply. In modern domestic properties in the uk the main electric lighting circuits are separate from the power ring main circuit. The wires are enclosed in an outer sheet and are flat twin earth cables. A single 5 6 amp circuit can cope with up to twelve 100 watt lamps it is usual in a multi storey house to have at least one lighting circuit for each floor even if the number of lamps are less than 12 on each level. The diagrams below shows the new harmonised cable colours.
These diagrams show various methods of one two and multiple way switching.
Instead of taking the feed wire from the consumer unit to the ceiling rose it is taken to the switch. This is an alternative way of wiring a lighting circuit. The permanent live wire is wired into the switch and the switched live into the switched live terminal. The wires are enclosed in an outer sheet and are flat twin earth cables. Switches are shown as dotted rectangles. The diagrams below shows the new harmonised cable colours.
This is an alternative way of wiring a lighting circuit. As you can see on this diagram between every point of the installation supply switch and light there is a set of wires running. Two way switching 2 wires. You can also see that another live and neutral wire go to the next. In modern domestic properties in the uk the main electric lighting circuits are separate from the power ring main circuit. Instead of taking the feed wire from the consumer unit to the ceiling rose it is taken to the switch. Switches are shown as dotted rectangles. L and n indicate the supply. Earth wires are not shown. Here we will explain how the most common lighting circuit works then we ll move on to some variations that you may see in your home that may appear to differ from this.
The permanent live wire is wired into the switch and the switched live into the switched live terminal. You can also see that another live and neutral wire go to the next. The wires are enclosed in an outer sheet and are flat twin earth cables. Each protected by a 5 amp fuse or 6 amp trip in the consumer unit. A single 5 6 amp circuit can cope with up to twelve 100 watt lamps it is usual in a multi storey house to have at least one lighting circuit for each floor even if the number of lamps are less than 12 on each level.

The diagrams below shows the new harmonised cable colours. Two way switching 2 wires. Switches are shown as dotted rectangles. If you are new to lighting circuits this is a good place to start. Each house should ideally have at least two lighting circuits. The neutrals are connected together using a terminal connector. As you can see on this diagram between every point of the installation supply switch and light there is a set of wires running. The most basic circuit with only two wires at the switch.
