[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 413405, member: 6969"] I am still not understanding that. You nered to be explicit. I am reading that as cable 1, the red core goes to the switch L1 and the earth goes to an earth termoinal. I don't know if there is a black core to this cable and if it connects anywhere? Cable 2, the black core (let's not call it a neutral, it almost certainly is not) goes to the switch common. The bare earth wire they dodn't bother to connect and I don't know if this cable has a red core and if it connects anywhere or not. Yes it's a pain not being able to post pictures until you have made 10 posts, it's an anto spam measure but in cases like this it is just a nuisance. You could try sending an email to one of the moderators and see if they will enable your posting rights. The opinion I am forming, from the information I have read is this is not "loop at light" nor is is "loop at switch" So it is probably all wired to a big lighting junction box somewhere under a floorboard somewhere. What's the age of the house and more importantly when was it last rewired? and in your work on the house have you ever seen such a large probably 6 inch square junction box somewhere near the middle of the house with a lot of cables going into it?
