[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 508745, member: 250"] Degree in computer networking has as much relevance as a degree in dress making or quilting... A lot of electrical work in bathrooms/shower rooms, falls within the remit of Part-P building regulations.. which require it to be correctly designed, installed, tested and certified by a competent person.. You seem to be struggling with the concept of how a light works.. A light switch MUST have a live in, a switched live out and an earth.. A light fitting MUST have a switched live in, a neutral and an earth.. How they are looped and/or connected in the real world can be achieved in numerous ways.. But you are wanting a Live, Neutral And and Earth.. which may or may not be in either of the locations you assume they are.. The location of Bathroom accessories MUST also comply with the Zones defined in BS7671 wiring regulations.. So as UNG said the best solution is to get a competent electrician in to ensure it is all electrically safe and compliant.. Although any one doing DIY can get things to work.. ensuring safe and correct installation of a product that can kill a healthy adult in less than a second is of upmost importance in areas where risks are higher.. such as bathrooms! I would recommend professional assistance. Guinness [/QUOTE]
