Re: Storage Heater: Not working

Re: Fused connection unit with surface outlet?

Update: I have checked the connections on both switches. On the first switch I unmounted I immediately saw that one of the wires had indeed popped out of the L2 connection. This I have rectified by twisting it around the second wire in L2 and securing it back. Having found this out, and not changed/...

2 Way Light Stopped Working

Hi, hope someone can offer me some advice. A 2 way light in my hallway has suddenly stopped working as a 2 way. It previously did work and I haven't undertaken any electrical work whatsoever to cause the problem. I can turn the light on & off, however I can only turn it back on using the switch ...
