[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 509028, member: 6969"] No this was from todays job. I just wanted to pick up a power feed for a new RF linked smoke alarm. That is what I found when I unscrewed the cover off the ceiling rose. The right hand cable is the supply, so yes connected wrong polarity, so for god knows how long it has been switching neutral. If someone had stuck a finger in the BC lamp holder even with the light turned "off" it would have hurt. Question for the electric police. What would you say the the black to the switch drop now being sleeved in brown? I don't have any red sleeving any more. [/QUOTE]
