The in cable supplies power from the previous light or consumer unit. This is a loop in method which can be useful where the light fitting only has three terminals or when using downlighters.

Recessed Lights In Series Wiring Diagram C3 Wiring Diagram
Loop in lighting circuit diagram. Lighting circuits loop at the switch. Loop in lighting wiring is the modern cabling arrangements used in most installation. An electric circuit is a closed loop with a continuous flow of electric current from the power supply to the load. The ceiling rose should be wired as shown below. One way lighting circuit using loop in ceiling roses. Electric circuits like ac lighting circuit battery charging circuit energy meter switch circuit air conditioning circuit thermocouple circuit dc lighting circuit multimeter circuit current transformer.
It consists of a red insulated core for live. Unlike the ring power circuit the lighting circuit does not form a loop returning to the consumer unit. Student training aid for the connections required to wire a lighting circuit using the 3 plate loop in method. Video explains the connection required within the ceiling rose one way switch and. 2 way lighting circuit diagram 2 way switch 2 way switch wiring diagram electrical wiring how to wire a light. Unlike power circuits lighting circuits are always of the.
Fig 1 shows what is referred to as a radial circuit sometimes called a loop in or multi point radial lighting circuit. Student training aid for the connections required to wire a lighting circuit using the 3 plate loop in method. Explanation of above picture. There is a chance that if your house has these old wiring colours the switch drops may be from a loop in loop out radial lighting circuit done with junction boxes rather than ceiling roses as shown in fig 2. Here are ten simple electric circuits commonly found around the home. Line diagram of a one way lighting circuit using loop in ceiling roses fig 1.
Multi point loop in radial lighting circuit the light wiring diagram shows how the live feed from the consumer unit fuse board shown in blue in fig 1 feeds into the first ceiling rose ceiling rose a. Loop at the switch. Video explains the connection required within the consumers unit ceiling rose and. The consumer unit is normally connected to the first lamp which in turn is connected to the second lamp and so on. Generally it uses less materials and is quicker to install than radial junction box wiring it can however be a bit more complicated to work out the actual wires at a ceiling rose. These days the loop in system predominates though individual circuits often combine the two for the most economical use of cable.
The principle is exactly the same as when looping at the ceiling rose or using a junction box. Lighting circuits are wired in two different ways using either junction boxes or loop in ceiling roses. The cable used is a 1sq mm pvc twin core and earth rated for up to 12 amps.
