[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 536868, member: 6969"] How competent do you feel? That blue wire on the far left with brown tape on it. Move that to the right hand set of terminals with the other blue wires. That will give you L and N at the switch. N.B. DO NOT connect a switch to it now, and remove the terminal block shorting it presently. The far left brown wire that goes to the light will now not be powered, that needs to move over into the centre set of terminals with all the brown wires. But what actually switches the light, don't tell me you are using "smart lights" i.e. lights with a wifi switch built in? That sounds like another bad idea, when the light fails you have to scrap the whole thing and program the replacement. [/QUOTE]
