[QUOTE="swiss2008, post: 513664, member: 33888"] "Because you have what is called a borrowed neutral and "probably" the landing light has its live from the downstairs circuit and its neutral from the upstairs circuit - and leaving it like this would have tripped 2 circuits every time the landing light is switched on" Ok and am right in thinking that the safety measures on the new consumer unit would not work with that setup because there were no issues with the old one? I wish it hadn't been changed to tell the truth! With regards to bulbs, in the search for the clearest brightest eye friendly light we're still using incandescent lights, which although now illegal, you can still buy due to a legal loop hole, if the bulbs are "rough service" you can still buy them, but as you can imagine, the quality of bulbs only available due to a legal loophole are pretty rubbish with regards to longevity... Thanks again for your help! I just want the light on separate loops again, I can handle that, is that possible with the new consumer unit? [/QUOTE]
