What is the best way to wire ceiling lights?

Arran Cameron
The ceiling rose junction box with its loop-in wiring is now really showing its age and is no longer a practical (or even safe) installation for most residents who wish to install fancy light fittings. It is still, however, the most common arrangement for new build houses and rewires, probably as the result of the electrician's training and how they consider it to be the norm or they cannot think of (potentially better) alternatives.


So, what is the best way to wire ceiling lights? Should neutral wires be taken to the switches or not?

    Will this thread run for ever?




    The beauty of traditional discussion forums is that threads can run for weeks, or even months, and retain their vigour whereas on Facebook discussions go stale frighteningly fast, sometimes in just a matter of a few hours, and often die completely when the next topic is posted.


    I find it sad that society is turning its back on traditional discussion forums and the younger generation sees them as old school or only inhabited by social misfits past the age of 40, and instead prefers to use that ginormous spy machine called Facebook.
