Wiring a Ceiling fan/light
5 Answers
Hi, have bought a fan/light thing and when I wired it up there were 3 cables each with the usual 3 Live,Neutral,Earth wires which I wired into the 1 connector on the fan/light in the appropriate hole. They were previously wired to an ordinary pendant. Now when I pull the cord thing the light is on, great, but the wall switch doesn't turn the fan/light off. Am I doing something wrong or is this just the way Fan/lights work?

There are different variations, so if you are not sure ask an electrician to sort it for you.
