Schndr Light Switches.

Zoomup

I am going to recommend  a certain make of light switches to all D.I.Yers. The make starts with an “S”.

They are just great for causing confusion, especially the two way type as the terminals are not traditionally positioned with the common at the point of a triangle and the L1 and L2 together opposite. Also the loop terminal confuses 'em luvverly. I got a load of work today when the householder had wired up some “S” light switches wrongly. GGGGGGGGGGGGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat as that tiger used to say in the breakfast cereal commercial.

    Am I the only one who knows how to use the ‘beep’ continuity range on the meter when faced with any kind of switch with non-standard markings or for some reason unreadable  such as reading round a corner?

    Sometimes it seems so..

    Mines the meter with trick test leads ending in the wago-style lever connectors wrapped around it.
