Wiring Diagram For a One Way Lighting Circuit Using the 3 Plate Method - Connections Explained 

simple straight forward thank you

My tutor was knobhead, this guy, he can explain well

U guys are doing great jobs... May God bless u guys.. Simply, u are the best

Really help full thank you so much , easy diagram you use to explain. It’s quite easy to understand.

Thank you. Drawing this now in workbook 🙂

Such a good explanation, many thanks!

Nice video!! I have watched it several times.

Really good explanation

Very well explained. Thanks

A most excellent explanation..

Brilliant video!

Well explained then my teacher

Excellent demo. Wonder if the blue cable could be scribbled on at the ends with brown marker pen rather than use plastic cover to show it is live, switch in line? Only draw back I can see. I suppose would be that cable couldn't afterwards be reused for another job, plastic cover can be taken off if need be but ink is permanent marking.

Hi fantastic video, I'm currently wiring up lights and sockets in my shed, from a seperate consumer unit. Would this wiring work on a fluorescent strip light and a pull cord switch?

Hi GSH your videos are brilliant m8, I'm just wondering how would the diagram work if I wanted to bring my power(feed) to the switch instead of the light, what would have to be changed around if you know what I mean, cheers love the videos

Where does the name change to PVC/PVC twin & CPC come from? Literally all suppliers etc call it twin and earth.

this was a fantastic explanation. Very clear and easy to understand. Thank you!

Thanks for explaining this in plain English, with no fancy wording.

Crystal clear ❤ thx

Understandable easier well explaining indeed.

Absolutely brilliant video ! I’m not a spark and firmly stay away from electrics ! That’s why we have you guys in my opinion but I just love knowing how things work ..... excellent explanation Gaz. Love it 👍🏼

You’ve made it so easy to understand, if only my tutor explained it this well! 👏🏼👍🏼

Thanx sir... I m working from dubai 🇦🇪 an electrician you'r video's very helpful... Thans a lot....

(7:24) - But if that plastic switch is fitted to a metal backbox, the heads of the screws would count as "exposed metal parts" so you would need a CPC in any case. >

Absolutely marvellous video, so educational with reinforcement of facts. Not everyone in teaching ensures understanding, you do. Great! Your students are very lucky to have someone like you. Thank you. Kam

Why not use twin brown + cpc for switch feed and switch wire instead of sleeving the blue?

can anyone give me some advice... the light in my bathroom... all of a sudden the bulb is only half illuminating. I have took the light unit apart to see that all the wires are correctly fitted and everything looks alright there is no loose connections as far as I can see I have tried 2 new bulbs also.... same issue remains. Its like there is volt drop somewhere so there is not enough power going to the light to fully illuminate the bulb. All the other lights on the upstairs light circuit are working perfectly just not the bathroom light. If someone could give me some advice on what could potentially fix this I would be grateful. Thanks

Re training and doing the C&G diploma in sept. These videos are amazing. Thanks

Thank you. Appreciate the knowledge you pass on (along with John Ward). I'll make an electrician out of my 12 year old yet! thank you again.

Clear and concise! Thank you

Your no JW 😊but I appreciate your vids... Thanks

Excellent video, thank you, you saved me a few £££s

I’ve come to swap a 1 way switch last week in one of my bedrooms and the black sleeved connection was in common and the red was in L1. Does this matter? Every other diagram I see including your videos the unsleeved connection is in common? Just confused me.

Fantastic helped me out a lot

Thanks Mr Gaz. Like the drawing explanation. I wish I had a tutor like yourself when I was learning. I would be flying now and very rich. Love watching your videos so simple and straight forward. Big fan of GSH learning methods. 🎓🎓🎓👍👍👍

Finally, just what I was looking for! Thank you.

Thanks mate.

👍👍👍👍👍 Thank U 👍👍👍👍

Why do electricians insist on strange terms like line, CPC & CU, when the rest of the world calls them live, earth & fuse boxes?!

Im putting lights and power into my shed, power sockets, no problem, Lights and switch bugger me. Came across you videos, great help.

Exactly how I understood it but I've heard that recently it's become a requirement to run a neutral to the switch to facilitate upgrade to a smart light switch at a later date.

Great stuff, i love your videos.. very detailed and very helpful. Thanks

Excellent

Great video , Very well explained. I'll be tapping in for more of this.👌👍

Thanks a lot very useful guideline

Can you run a line feed from the CU to the switch, then run the switched line back in through the CU and out of another knockout to save on conduit?

How does this work with multiple down lights

They had this playing in college on Thursday for the students am back in college doing level 2 after such a long time. I was thinking of changing the video to the two potty mouths channel you might know who I mean am not saying this one of yours was boring it was late in the day we all needed a bit of a laugh to brighten up are day.

Great video and explained. I have a outside light with one way switch. I want to move the light fixing into another place not far from the old location.its an outside light. I've drilled a hole where I need new light and I've opened up the switch and disconnected the wire for the light. There was a live wire located l1. And the natural for it was in connecter blocks with other 2 nature wires. I've installed new cable and put the live back into slot l1 and the nature wire where the original was. The light is operational now. The problem I'm having I've still getting some power from the old cable I've also put connecter blocks on both ends so it's safe. Can you shine some knowledge please.

This is really helping me, Thank you. Do you have a college or school ? ive enrolled in a place but not recieved nothing like the way you teach

thanks mate

Fantastic explanation, easy to understand GSH Electrical 👏👏👏

Absolutely fantastic explanation, so easy to follow, thank you.

Wow wonderful explanation really I love it

Excellent

Totally understandable thoroughly enjoy your videoes

Love this video. Time taken to explain. College these days is so rushed. Thank you

Great video Gaz. I've just started the adult learner level 2 at tresham with Matt and loving it.

Thank you for this video buddy! 🤜🏾

My switch has L1 and L2?

Very clear. However coming out of my ceiling I only have 3 wire, the brown, blue and CPC (I believe there must be a jonction box somewhere) so where do I connect those? Any ideas?

no words you got my respect

Luettgen Glens

excellent video . god bless u for ur time

Thank you. Explantion was clear and concise!

My mate recommended your channel, another great video, cheers!!

This is quality, thank you

Very clear instructions, thank you

Very good explanation. Many Thanks.

Can you please do two way switch e.g. stairs

Thank

Excellent tutorial, what is the reason for not connecting the neutral wire from ceiling rose to the switch?

Fantastic video well explained 😊

Thanks.

Have you done a video on 1 switch on 2 lights?

Best explanation of all I've seen!

A great demo on one way lighting.

Thanks for explanation

Fantastic detail. Thanks

You are brilliant, makes perfect sense. I have recently had a look at a new light fitting. 2 L terminals were connected in a loose terminal block and insulated doing nothing. Left were 2 neutrals and earth. The neutrals connected either side of the lamp and the lamp operated correctly via the switch. I assumed one of the neutrals was a sw L (not sleeved). Con checked across these 2 neutrals and operated the sw expecting to gain/lose con but no cont in either sw position. Carried out voltage check and found one N to have mains voltage. Does this mean the switch has been wired after the light? I can’t get my head around it! Would appreciate any help! Real head scratcher.

Old school Blacks to blacks Reds to reds NOT!

Really helpful many thanks

great videos and more videos showing more complex diagrams would be great especially emergency lighting and emergency control gear and how these are connected

This is the best explanation I have ever seen

This is Excellent Garry.

Hi, I have a lighting setup similar to that but slightly different. 2 rooms, new lights, both the same light. I have the three reds in terminal block, 1 in 1 side and 2 in another. The 3 black are 1 in L and 2 in N with all earths together. In light switch it is red in L1 and Black in Com. The light works but has a 2 second delay between me operating the switch and it illuminating. Any ideas as to why there is a delay? The other room with the same illumintes instantly. Tried a brand new light again in the delayed room and still a delay.

Finally ! I understand,

Well explained video. Can the loop terminals be used to wire up a smoke alarm? Thanks

How would you do this with spot lights?

Really useful, thanks !

Hello, I have an important question. Is it safe to run a cable from an existing outlet/socket to get power for a ceiling lamp?

Perfectly explained, thankyou👌

Tanx for the upload you explained that very well👍

New regs Should be on a red/rcbo!

Is there an app you can use to draw circuits but then test their functionality and measure the current etc. I.e. For learning purposes?

Silly question but why does the cpc come bare in the cable. Why do they not have it already done with the green/yellow instead of us having to use sleeving..??? just wondered.
