Electrical discoveries

A mystery box up near the ceiling of the living-room revealed some tidy, yet ancient, wiring.

It turns out that the wiring topology for the lighting is know by some as a spider layout, where all the permanent connections are commoned up in a single location, rather than at each ceiling rose.





This is the power supply to the conservatory. Nice little bit of 2.5mm T&E poking out of the wall with a 13A plug on the end. Nice.



This later turned out to be a bit of a godsend. But for now it just says bodge.



I'm not sure why, but I love the heath-robinson look to this electrical installation. It'll be a pity to get rid of it, but it's really not the look I'm going for.
