    Is this wiring diagram correct? 3 Lights, 1 Gang switch
    Hi All,

    Hoping that someone out there can confirm that my wiring diagram will work (I am 99% sure).

    It is for my loft, will have 3 low energy bulbs (60w eqivilant). Operation is a simple 1 way Gang switch, cabling will be 2.5mm square, twin core & earth. Bulbs are in parallel.

    Thanks for your time,

    Steve

    Looks good to me, however, I can tell by the color code, and the words you use, that your probably in the UK, or someplace similar that uses 230 volts, one leg grounded.

    I am not sure if the neutral needs to be switched. If not, your wiring diagram is perfect.

    I, and all of the other electrical experts here are from the USA, so no one here has hands on experience with UK wiring.

    I agree if you also mean the neutrals are actually connected inside that switch box and not just side by side as drawn.

    Looks good to me, except make sure you follow all the electrical codes in your country and connect everything correctly. Good luck.
