[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 520633, member: 250"] Unless someone has used some 3core+E, and just cut off the cores they didn't think important.. e.g. Brown / Black / Grey and Mr DIY thinks he has seen Brown and Black before when wiring up plugs etc.. But the Grey is just confusing so cut it off! I was changing a CU back at the start of November.. Whilst doing a few sample inspections & tests for my EIC.. I found that, excluding the supply feed from the CU which was Rd/Bk T&E... ALL of the rest of the lighting circuits were wired in RYB+E.. Dunno if the builders electrician had just acquired a job lot of 3core+E that they wanted to use up.. or if it was a specific contractors method to provide L,N & SwL everywhere! I think we would benefit from a photo of the OP's actual wiring? :C Guinness [/QUOTE]
