[QUOTE="sparkytim, post: 261315, member: 8627"] And then of course there was the single and earth method popular on new builds. Black single with earth run to all light fittings, (An earlier version just had Black with NO cpc) red single with earth run to all switches, then red with earth from switch to light fittings. Twin and earth was used for strappers between 2way switches with red single and earth for feed and switch wire. Wall lights could be interesting, N fed from one end then twin and earth looped from light to light and switched Live fed from OTHER end of run. This kept the minimal number of cables at the fittings. No junction boxes used and no bunch of cables at light fittings. [/QUOTE]
