Hi Gaz, Thank you very much for doing these videos. The clarity of your presentation is outstanding!!! The time and effort you put into producing these videos is greatly appreciated.
Hi Gaz, been watching a lot of your videos in preparation for my TRA skills assessment which is tomorrow, hoping to migrate to Australia. Huge thank you for all your priceless knowledge, wishing you all the best 👍 Mike
Thanks for the video Gaz. I've noticed you seem a little out of breath recently, I had Covid a couple of months ago (no real problems) but do feel a little breathless sometimes. Have you had it?
So helpful-thank you. However the new light I’m putting up only has a terminal with three holes (L,N and earth). How do I get 3 sets of cables in?!?! Where do all the reds go?
Hope you are feeling better soon. Could you do a video on how you would correctly wire live and neutral to the switch and then to the next light in the run. As the US runs line and neutral to the switch, a lot of the smart switches need it to work. There are no neutral switches available but I get the feeling that line and neutral is going to become more common so it would be good to see the correct way to do it. Hope it’s nothing serious and you get well soon.
Taking the Feed (Supply) to the Light Switch the 2 Plate Method th-cam.com/play/PL2Ea5r9gxUUevU9gv8lizD53aYvwiJ5qr.html This is what we do in the U.K. when we take the neutral to the switch 👍🏻
yet again, another fantastic video - Thanks a lot :-) One question... Wiha or Wera for purchasing a once in a lifetime (hopefully) decent set of screwdrivers!?!? ;-)
Would it be incorrect to put the switched live into the live of the pendant and both neutrals into the neutral side of the pendant and only have the commons on the rose?
Just decided to upgrade the lighting in a bedroom and saw this video in my suggested list. The bedroom has one silly globe fixture right above the window which is a ridiculous place to put a light. I want to have the light in the middle of the room. What would be the best way to move the fixture?
You would need to fit a new ceiling rose and disconnect the wires from the old one and put them into the new one. However this assumes there is enough cable to reach the new position if not you would need to extend the existing cables using a suitable junction box. However this raises the question of whether this requires a minor works certificate as you are extending the circuit perhaps a certified electrician can comment.
Hi, I’m baffled because when trying to install a new strip light in my garage. The existing one came crashing to the ground exposing all the wires. There’s four cables two with red black and earth and two with only red and earth?? What’s that about? Love to hear your thoughts. Thanks
It's neat but you left no slack at all. If this was an existing installation and at a future date someone wanted to replace it, the cable would probably have to be replaced.
I’m an American electrician. No offense but, you British certainly make mountains out of mole hills. Your way is arguably a touch safer but its incredibly inconvenient to run the line ( the supply from the breaker) to a ceiling.
@@GSHElectrical I wasn’t suggesting that your way is difficult. I’m suggesting that your wiring methods turn something simple into a rube goldberg machine. So yeah, it ain’t rocket science

All the best sorting the health thing out...
I wish you all the best. Hope you get well soon. You are doing fantastic work.

Get well soon Gaz
Hi. Good morning sir.
Pls how can I register for applentiship in UK.
this recording is excellent in all aspects and much to be learned from it.
Great tutorial, looking forward to the rest of the Vids on lighting circuits
Thanks for watching

Mike I wish you all the best for tomorrow 👍🏻. Gaz
@@GSHElectrical hey mate just thought I'd come back and let you know I passed! Huge thanks to your great videos, massive thanks,
Mike
Thanks a bunch. Very informative.
👍🏻
Brilliant video! I Will be completing my Domestic Installer course in the new year and your video’s have been really helpful! Thank-you Gaz. 👍🏾
Thanks for watching and the support 👍🏻
Good stuff lads 🤙🏻🤙🏻
👍🏻
Great content. Thank you.
Massive thanks
Great work mate
Thanks for the video Gaz. I've noticed you seem a little out of breath recently, I had Covid a couple of months ago (no real problems) but do feel a little breathless sometimes. Have you had it?
Thanks for the commenting I have had a breathing issue for sometime now off to Papworth hospital in a few weeks 👍🏻
Top man.
Thanks
Great video, well done.
Thanks Barry 👍🏻

Not a sparky myself but great video none the less

This is what we do in the U.K. when we take the neutral to the switch 👍🏻
Electrical surgery - clever! 👍👍
Any chance on a video performing the same with power to another room or extra lights but in two plate

Please don’t go on my choice… I do love Wiha but not the SpeedE 😂
@@GSHElectrical whilst I enjoy all things electrical, an electric screwdriver is definitely not on my wish list!! Cheers :-)
I cut my switch wire at 45 degrees, saves writing on cables and sometimes they get covered in paint or plaster

Not possible
why not use the earth to strip it?
On the blue switch wire I was taught to bend the switch wire in to an s shape s=switch wire 👍
Top tip 👍🏻
It's neat but you left no slack at all. If this was an existing installation and at a future date someone wanted to replace it, the cable would probably have to be replaced.
My ceiling has 4, four, cables coming out of the ceiling.
Even after years I still shy away from lighting circuits. I just can't get my head around it, no matter how hard I try. It can get so confusing.

That knife looks to bulky for the job. I find it easier to use a knife and slide it down against the earth wire to strip the cable .
Thanks for your input 👍🏻
3 plate lighting at the pendant is absolute shite!!!
Why can’t anyone talk on you tube without lip smacking is it really that bloody hard jesus
