The best video on YouTube for wiring a light fitting/switch from a Plug Socket!

Very well explained thank you the first video that actually explains clearly - easily and very concisely how to connect a light fitting from a socket.
Thank you

Clear, concise, no stupid music, great stuff, thankyou

All your videos are well explained and easy to follow. You take your time and don’t rush talking. Thanks.

I’ve got to say, this is a brilliant explanation. I have managed to follow this to the letter and now have a fantastic porch light 💡. The hardest thing was feeding the cable without too much mess. Thank you 🙏🏻

I looked this video up because I'm fitting in a new light in my porch, originally wired by an electrician. I couldn't figure the wiring out, until I eventually realised the neutral was connected via a single-pole switch and the live was going straight to the light fitting. The light was a PIR-switched unit and the single-pole switch was only ever used to isolate the unit when I was changing the bulb, which of course, it wasn't actually doing. Always check with circuit-tester or multi-meter, even if the wiring was done by a qualified person. Super video, by the way, very good set-up to demonstrate wiring.

This is the only video I’ve found which has given instructions on how to do this. Fantastic, thanks 🙏

Your videos are great. I'm converting my garage into a man cave, the lights currently are plugged into a socket, this will enable me to free that socket up for other things now.

Very clear instructions. Concise language. Many thanks. Subbed.

Love your videos! They are super clear and simple, and I have used a number of your videos for different projects. Ceiling rose to spotlights, fitting bathroom fan wiring and now this one. Thankyou! 🤩

[cameronjones]

Most excellent. This is a very good explanation thank you very much

Thanks for another good and well explained, I am a job tomorrow for garden out sockets and lights, wasnt too sure if I need to run two swa cable 1.2 and 2.5 but after watching this video I got a clear idea what to do tomorrow.

I love the clarity of your video! Really easy to follow.

These are great videos mate, I’m a facilities and maintenance tech for a transport company and get a lot of info from YouTube on how to do things that I’ve never done before, I almost have to know a certain amount about every trade and your videos are very easy to understand and are super helpful.
Keep them coming, thanks 🙏

Cheers for your helpful video!
I used 2.5mm from the socket to FCU. Then you only need 1 or 1.5mm to your switch and lamp. In the UK (not sure on other regs), your FCU should have a 3amp fuse. I can't see a 5amp being a problem though.
I completed this setup, installing a light for the under stairs cupboard. All bits from my local Screwfix (already had 2.5 and 1mm cable), total cost under £20 which included 6m of trunking. A cheap enough DIY job.
Thanks again for the great video!

Fantastic video so easily explained, I used it to install some external flood lights and it worked a treat. I also took photos of each stage as a record of the connections and used wago connectors internally.

Fantastic explanation, really helped me out
