Conductor identification - what would you do

You are replacing some old-fasioned light fittings (that look like inverted 1970s pub ashtrays screwed to the ceilings) with shiny new LED dome fittings.  The house is wired in T&E with red and black cores and you find that the switched line feed is coming into the existing fitting as a black core in a T&E.  Mostly you have found that these have been nicely oversleeved in red, but one or two aren't.


Would you :


a: Oversleeve/mark in red to be consistent with the existing wiring

b: Oversleeve/mark in brown as that is the common 'current' colour for a single phase line conductors

c: Leave it as black as that is an allowed 'phase' colour these days......!

d: Something else - if so what?


Jason.

  • Lyle - No need to apologise - My response had tongue plated firmly in cheek, as I'm sure your original one did, epsecially after a day dealing with that mess!  It may be the angle of the photo but it looks like a brown connected to a blue through a terminal block in there - my issue pales to insignificance!
