Part 1 - Understanding Ceiling Roses
มุมมอง 278K7 ปีที่แล้ว
When you have a look inside your ceiling rose it can be a bit daunting, usually resulting in calling an electrician like me who is thankful of the work to replace with a new light. However, with some basic understanding you can do most of the work yourself. In the video I'll explain all the fundamentals of ceiling roses and their wiring so that people can do the basics themselves. Note however,...

Simple Plug in Light and Switch
มุมมอง 523K7 ปีที่แล้ว
Learn how to wire up a plug in light and switch. This kind of task is really useful if you have a source of power where you can plug in a light, but want to place the switch in a more convenient place. For example, a loft may have a couple of sockets but no light and you want to light up the loft. The principle applies to any light you may wish to control via a switch or dimmer. Remember: alway...

How to Wire a UK Plug
มุมมอง 1.9K8 ปีที่แล้ว
How to wire a UK plug, including how to strip the wires correctly. Also common faults and problems. Probably one of the simplest electrical jobs - but all too easy to get it wrong. So this step by step video takes you through all you need to know. Note the video is only a guide - if you are unsure then call a qualified electrician!
Good one
Thank you so much. This helped me wire up a shed light safely!
Simple and straightforward instruction. Excellent video
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hello I know it a very old video, but does it still work if I remove the switch on a system? More like a plugin light in general
thank you! that was really helpful - mission accomplished!
Thank you so much, I wondered why I don't have switch live wires but that was clearly explained at 4:05.
Fantastic. Clear and concise
You made the multicoloured spaghetti make sense. I can't thank you enough
Please can two dimmer switches be used to control a light? As in the normal two way control circuit
Hello. Can I connect two ceiling lights into one terminal of line connector so that they are operated with the same switch?
gonna run all my hallway and bathroom lights from 1 existing outlet, never tried anything like this before, everything makes sense now
The channel name 'Artoo Electrical' implies some knowledge of electrical work, but the advice given here is not compliant with UK electrical regulations. Unsheathed conductors should not be pushed into a ceiling or wall void and those connectors are also not suitable for use without being properly enclosed. Anyone following this advice is creating a potential electric shock/electrocution risk and also the potential for fire. I won't go into the numerous reasons why this 'fix' is not acceptable under UK wiring regulations, but would suggest the video be taken down and would reiterate that this is not an acceptable means of replacing one light fitting with another. The fact that a light works does not necessarily mean that it is safe to use.
This method does not comply with wiring regs. It is not acceptable to just push the Wago connectors into the ceiling like that. They must be enclosed.
Anyone who follows this is introducing a fire hazard into their home. This person is clearly not an electrician and hence has no regard for safety you must not put exposed connectors into a ceiling space it is dangerous!!
Finally, I found what I've been looking for . Brilliant content. Thank you. Subscribed. Keep them coming
best vid we found so far, helped to enable me fit two lights
I have a outdoor light with 2 cables, can you use a switch without a earth wire?
I love it, it is so beneficial, Thanks
Make sure you guys put a 3amp fuse max in the plug! As he didnt mention in the video
wouldnt it be easier if they use 2 different colors like red n white ?
which country you are in can you tell please
Hey! Could you tell me how I would wire the 1 plug into 2 switches where each switch would control 1 light each. Thanks
after watching numerous videos ... finally found one that gets straight to the point ... thanks appreciated
Can I do this with more lights. I'm planning on making a vanity mirror for my kids
I have old Blue (Neutral) and Brown (Live) wires on my existing dimmer switch. What connects to what in my new replacement dimmer switch (L1 etc...)?
Thanks very much just did mine your video very helpful
Even easier to connect the lamp (bulb) with a 2 core + earth wire straight to a plug head with a 3 AMP fuse and then plug into a nearby socket.
brill mate..smashed it
Thanks very much, this was really helpful. Really clear and concise.
Great video . I also wanted to do this in my shed , First attempt blew a fuse . After finding your video i now realise where i went wrong Thankyou
Thank you!!! The first 30 seconds of your video saved me!! I had in fact installed the dimmer correctly, I’d just forgotten that you have to press the switch to turn it on 😝😂 thank you so much! ☀️
what AMP fuse are you using?
This is so helpful. I have old wiring pre 2004, Also due to positioning, I'm having to view inside the rose upside down so it's a tad complicated. However, this has been extremely helpful not only as regards to 'how to' but also for tools to use.
extremely helpful Thanks!
I did this but my circuit breaker trips when i switch the light on. What could be the problem?
Many thanks, simply explained. Very grateful
Fantasic video, so clear with your explaination and meant I was able to complete the update while learning myself!
Many thanks
I really learned a lot here thanks for the video. watching from south sudan 🇸🇸
I wanted to say a massive thank you for this tutorial, my husband and I were flummoxed by the instructions we had with our new light, your video was so clear we managed to replicate it and have a lovely light now, thank you again LJ
Helpful
i have one of these to install, but the cable is too long. is there any way to shorten it?
Brilliant demonstration. This has really helped me and the best and most practical explanation. This also applies to Part 1. Thank you.
Is this type of thing illegal to do?
No. Any competent person can.

Perfect video thanks for showing us how do it. I have a question CAN I attach a single or a double socket to the wall using the power directly taken from the light switch on the wall. Can it be done just to run a freezer chest only .
What if the upstairs loop flickers all the lights and my live switch isn’t marked.

Some outlet boxes have switches that have to be manually wired to the two socket terminals. With this type of outlet box, could you connect the live wire going to the light switch directly to one of the outlet box switch terminals?
