Wiring Diagram Conduit Loop-In Method Part 5 - Lighting Circuits in PVC Singles - 2 Way Switching

Part 5 - for wiring lighting circuits using the conduit loop in method. In this part we look at drawing a wiring diagram of 1 lights controlled by 2 switches (2 way switching). This video builds on circuit and wiring diagrams we produced in other parts of this series. This conduit loop in method uses brown, blue and green and yellow often 1.5 mm2 stranded conductors for circuit wiring.

In part 5 we apply the one way circuit diagram created in part 1, 2 ,3 and 4 videos and show how it can help with an extended wiring of a lighting circuit using the conduit loop in method for 2 way switching of a lighting circuit.

So amazing sir continue the good teachings am a student.

[lam_daniel]

Very good illustration. step by step good teaching.

[davek]

Thanks for these videos. Your are a great teacher

[marcustheobald]

I’m a quite new to all of this but I don’t understand how it turns the light on if you didn’t run a switch line you just had a permanent line from the switch to the light?

[therealdojj]

I would never have thought it would need to be different if it was in conduit 🤷
Suppose that's where you come in handy 😁

[therestlessworkshop]

I thought most people now recommended bringing a neutral to the switch for future proofing and testing/troubleshooting. Is that not required here because with singles and it would be so simple to run a neutral at the time it was needed or something else?

[ColinRichardson]

I think I missed one. But good video regardless.
I especially liked the "extend this to more points" talk at the end.
How sometimes trying to be more efficient with the cables may not always be the best practice and cause confusion in the future.

What if my light fixture is a fully insulated LED batton light pre wired with only live and neutral wires coming from light fitting? Currently wiring my own garage but will be getting an electrician neighbour to look after the CU and testing and final power up.

I was taught to add an extra line conductor with the strappers, that way the feed and the switching line can be in the same light switch.
The feed to the common and the switch line to L1 or L2

[nathancurtis]

I'm sure when wiring strappers they have to go to the same respected terminals in the second switch you can cross over from L1 to L2 and vise versa.

It was fairly common in the late 50s early 60s to find houses wired using the loop in method.
The only difference was because they were not wired in conduit the electrician used double insulated singles . The only twin lighting cable in the whole house was the strips between the 2 way switches in the hall and landing .
Also no earth in those days
