QUOTE(ryansia @ Jun 13 2011, 11:28 PM) easy rules: Thanks all for the help. I "survived" and successfully installed my ceiling light via DIY.Earth= always green Neutral= No colour, ie black or white Live= Coloured except green! the different colour of live wire used by the electrician is to differentiate type, zone etc... Very helpful information, indeed! mywife liked this post
