Creative Sunday: fix a bulb switch in 5 minutes

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


I got a new light switch for my room; the place was a new place, so I need to fix some things up. Not just the switch alone, but then I did some other wiring work in that room. I had already fixed the bulb. In the room, here is exactly how I fixed my room switch.

process

Firstly, there is light in the room. So I need to change my changeover to neutra simply because of safety, and I'm not using any gloves. It is advisable to use hand gloves, but I don't have any. Meanwhile, there is no problem once you change the light to neutral.

I removed the switch there before and then used my pliers to fix the wire. I bring out the mouth of the red and black wire. You can see me holding the switch.
The other piece of equipment I used was a tester; a screwdriver would have been better, but I don't have one, and I need to improvise. So I used a texter to nut and tie the screws.

After which, I removed the old switch and placed the new one there, and here is the work we need to do.

The red wire is two, and on the switch there is a hole to put the wire; there are three holes. The first one is L1, which will go for red; the second one is L2, which is just neutral; and the last one is N, which is going for black wire.

In the shot, all you need to do is place those wires in the places I mentioned, then use the tester to screw the nuts with those wires until they are right and unable to be removed. After that, I screwed the switch with the two screws that came with it. I used my tester to screw them back and then test my work. I put the lights back to normal and tested what I just did. It came out well. Feel free to enjoy my video.

The equipment used are

  • The switch
  • The tester
  • The screws
