Hey!
I just moved into this 1 room apartment, and decided to put a ceiling light , a 2 bulb.
Just to fill you in, before that, and (still) , I had accidentally found out that the switch on the wall , was connected to an outlet, so I just got a cheapo lamp and connected there so it could be temporarily...
Well going back to the subject, I installed everything just fine, and when I turned the power back on, vualaaaa the lights came on OK, but the problem was that the switch was off, so I opened the switch box and started changing some wires ( there were 3 ground wires, 4 phase wires and 3 neutral ) , one of the phase went into the switch... so I just changed them to see if it would switch the ceiling lights on or off, according to the guy in the reception of my condo, he said the room ceiling is connected to the switch... so to bare the trouble of connecting reconnecting etc... I just disconnected every single wire in that switch box and turned on the power... for my surprise the light still got on, and the only switches in my room are closet ( different source ) and the room switch..
Can any one help me?.
Thank you in advance!
