I'm not sure which I enjoy the most from JW's commentary, the extremely useful learning experience or the subtle dryness of his humour.
I've watched hours of videos on this because I can't get an electrician for love or money. I was really struggling to grasp it. This video switched a light on in my brain- finally! THANK YOU SO MUCH! 🙏👍💥 xox
I’ve just come across this video, it is undoubtedly the best explanation I’ve ever seen for any subject!! Many thanks.
thanks again John if ur listening, its a Godsend to have these videos some mornings before doing small electrical job.
Did basic electrical work many years ago, and decided to wire shed for light and power. This video was great revision on how to do it and made it easy to remind me what to do.. electrician who came to check it was happy with all that I had done.. thank you so much.. saved me a fortune. :)
Just what i wanted to know, nothing needlessly explained or made overly complicated. Simple and clear information. Great vid John.
May I say your voice is very easy on the ear, which makes listening to your video all the more enjoyable.
Fantastically logical, clear, unadulterated. Many thanks John.
John. Thank you for such a straightforward explanation, without needless flamboyance or exuberance, and at a pace I can absorb what you're explaining. So very helpful and professional.
Hi John. Just want to write a thank you for this video. Your drawings and explanations are just at the right level for me. I've been replacing a light in my front room today and now understand what the wires do. I really the like the coloured Sharpie-drawn wires and the explanation of the current flow.
7:10 Thank you for the tip. Use the standard 3 wire cable, sleeve the blue with a brown tape to show its usage.
My friend who's an electrician, said to give you a watch. He said your excellent, he wasn't wrong. Great video and teaching style was very easy to understand. Thanks
Very informative, and well done on simplifying something which has puzzled me for years. Got my head around basic lighting circuits within 24 minutes, perfect.
Did my city & guilds levels 1,2 & 3 some years back. By god, I wish I knew you back then!! The illustrations along with the calm, flowing commentary explaing each diagram to each circuit is bang on the money!! Just what beginner's need. At college it was thrown at you, moving at a fast pace along with all the science classroom shit (although that shit does have to be learned). Great teaching skills John simples but bordering genius.
Thank you John. Your verbal and visual teaching style is amazing
Thanks John as always. Newly qualified electrician here and have learnt so much from your videos over time.
brilliant info, thank you! You've given me the confidence to have a go at wiring new downlighters into the ceiling as an additional circuit to the central pendant light.
I watched 10s of videos about this simple thing and you are the only guy showing this properly with explanation! TY!
I’d like to reinforce what others are saying JW. Really well explained and perfect with diagrams. I’ve used those to check stuff I’m looking at to get a better understanding. Keep up the good work on producing tutorials. If you ever get into considering a webinar on a chosen subject I’d sign up in an instant.
Fantastic explanation John! And nice and clear video! Keep it up!
Honestly you made that so easy to understand, i am in the process of adding 10 x 4w ip65 led spotlight to my bathroom with a dual (trailing edge) dimmer switch, using the same power in for both circuits and you have made the whole thing very simple and straight forward. many thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Best explanation I've come across. Really like the way you build/draw the circuit using the diagrams. Makes it easy to understand. Many thanks Nige.
Thanks John, another useful video which saved me the cost of getting a sparky in for a relatively straight forward job!
the best tutorial on lighting circuits i have seen...Keep up the sterling work and thanks...
Thank god people like this exist. Straightforward quality information, it makes everything come into focus now. Thanks.
John Ward I agree 👍
I agree you are great teacher
Did you compliment yourself? :-/

Nah, I’m not him. He clearly knows what he’s doing with electrical stuff, me on the other hand.......
@@Dagnabbitful 😂😂
Twice I've had problems wiring a light in my new build, and twice this video has solved my problems. Thank you!
What an excellent video! This has actually saved me a lot of money. I had my ceiling plastered and the plasterer took the lights down but had no idea how to put them back.
First class. Great video. This explains everything I wanted to know in a structured manner. Thanks.
Thank you for this. Very useful video. Clear and easy to follow. The multiple diagrams made it so much easier to actually understand what is going on.
Great video. I've just completed my EAL Levels 2 & 3 electrical. In level 2 we were given diagrams to follow to wire lights, so that's what we did. We could have done with an explanation about what we were doing and why. Anyone should at least be able to follow a diagram, but, it's understanding why is more important. At the end of the year we had all our folders taken from us because in the past some people on the course (not necessarily in our college) had posted them on the net. This video, and many more of yours fill that knowledge hole. I very much appreciate them. Thank you.
Really well explained. Just what I was looking for, a UK version of a lighting circuit. Thanks.
Well explained John I wired up a loft light years ago which seemed complicated years later I’m wiring my summer house and now I understand it thank you 👍
Clear explanations of how home lighting works. Many thanks.
Thank you so much for making this video. Lighting circuits demystified! It all makes perfect sense now.
Great video, love how simple you have made this. Looking forward to watching part 2 on the switches
As always, clearly spoken, written and explained. Many thanks John!
Excellent! Delivered classroom style. I now have the confidence to continue with my workshop project!
Thank you.
Super helpful and informative, and as previous commenters said, much better than trawling DIY forums for info. Thank you very much! I’m looking forward to the other videos in this series.
Wish I had had this guy teaching me this stuff at school!
Exactly 👍🏼
Excellent video, very clear, concise and informative thank you John!
Been watching for a long time and I'm studying electrical installation at college from September. The videos the past couple days have been exactly what I need. Thanks John!
Wiring diagram to mk masterseal plus 2 gang 1-way light switch
how'd it go? did you become an electrician?
These tutorials are absolutely brilliant! thanks so much JW.
Great job - very helpful. It made the connection for me (for the first time) between the theory of electrical circuits - which is easy, and the complicated business of wiring up a multi-terminal ceiling rose.
Thank you ever so much for making this video - You explain stuff so clearly.
Now I know how to add another light and switch in the laundry room.
You're the best !
This is like the promised land, JW, thank you so much for explaining this in a format that is easy to understand and straight to the point . It has always been a mystery, I have looked on a few sites and was completely baffled. I have always put off lighting projects because I didn't understand..... LET THERE BE LIGHT!!!! hahaha Thankyou
Your post was so clear, just what I was looking for, you've given me confidence to have go. Thanks
John, you are a legend !!! The most wonderful explanations of lighting circuits. Thanks so much...
So informative John, makes it so much easier to understand when described in layman’s terms.
Hallelujah! Great explanation of domestic lighting circuits. It actually is a simple as you think it must be when someone explains it in 'laymans' terms. Thanks John!
Very straight forward and well explained in principle, although in practice not as easy. When changing light fixtures or light switches, I find the best way to do so is by taking a photo of the existing connections before disconnecting and simply wiring them up the same way on the new light fixture or switch.
Really good, practical explanations. All my questions answered. Glad I found your vid.
Great work John bin in building trade over 20 years and I finally understand how to do a lighting circuit you should have been a shool teacher John you explain everything superbly
Absolutely brilliant, thank you.
Fantastic video JW. Pictures really do paint 1000 words. Methodical and calming approach to teaching. I look forward to viewing more of the same. Thanks.
Excellent explanation John. I've watched a number of others, but yours is by far the clearest and most systematic. Am going to watch all three now. (Its also more appropriate to us in South Africa, than the American ones). Best regards.
Clear and easy to follow no nonsense video, thank you John!!
This guy has me in stitches as well as teaching me invaluable information. Brilliant and thank you.
At last someone who is able to explain the lighting function, excellent video, Thank you.
Exactly 6mins in and I've paused this video to comment with: thank you for making this video! I now understand more about house light wiring (from what I've just watched) than I ever have over the last 36 years.
This is one of the best descriptions of lighting I have seen. thanks.
I've watched several other videos before this and was confused, this is crystal clear! Many many thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Thank you. After watching and taking notes and copying the diagrams I have been able to replace the ceiling rose in the utility room with a downlighter.
Very well explained, no need to waste time on those useless trade forums where they argue amongst eachother!
I never found any video online which is as helpful and practical as this! Thanks John!
Excellent video John with concise and clear instruction - thank you!
Thanks John, this has helped me immeasurably.
Fantastic video - Great visual explanation & fantastic use of diagrams / drawings! Thank you!
Excellent video, clearly explained.
Thank you, this video helped me so much in lighting up my shed
Thank you. I was one of those people that enthusiastically pulled all of the wires out of 8 ceiling roses without checking how they had been wired and totally baffled by the number of wires most of them had. You saved my day!
Great video explaining the loop lighting system to us DIY’ers who want to fit our own lights. Worth mentioning too that you can use a multi meter to identity the switched live and power in and out cables using the continuity function. This is a dead test with no power going to the circuit. Just connect your probes to the lives and when you get sound you know they are your power in and out. The third brown will be going to your switch. You should be able to see this cable in your ceiling so the blue will be your switched live. You can confirm this by connecting your probes to this brown and blue to hear a buzz for continuity but just be sure to operate the switch to put into the on position.
Thank You John for great tutorials!
John, thank you, I done the same wiring in the shed years ago, I am now old and apparently cant remember. Could not get it working , should have taken a photo of the connections but I did not. I then had a light bulb moment, ah You Tube. Saw your video, and after 2 hours of mishaps it took all of 8 minutes and up and running. Big thank and let there be light.
Cheers for this! I'm totally clueless when it comes to lighting! Iv recently blew two, and your example of what people do, at the start of this video was spot on.
Your vid has made this so clear to me, (Which is not easy) Im still not looking forward to installing a new ceiling light as the way it is set up still tries to confuse me. Im hoping that with this video i have now learned enough to figure it out.
We have been without the main light in the front room for four years due to my bro blowing it. Using lamps was fine for us, but after recent decoration now is the time to give it ago again.
Thanks again. Best vid by far.
This was absolutely awesome! Great explanation!
Clear explanations, I do DIY and trained in appliance engineering with some experience in electrics and meters through appliances however your videos make it easy to understand more electric setups. Subscribed.
best online electrical tutor period!!!!! thank you so much for an amazing video
JW sir you are a champion. Thank you very much this demo was outstanding 👍🏻
Thank you John for taking the time to answer (I enjoy your videos and they remind me in a good way of the old open university programs). Good to know regards switching regulations. Is the word neutral not a misnomer as it is AC (ie you get a negative cycle of the same magnitude). Thanks again and please keep the videos coming.
Excellent video John, very simple and clear. Just what I needed
Thanks John for the simple and staightforwrd explanation. Brilliant!
'Only to discover there's far more wires that they think should be there'. That is exactly what happened, apart from I was fortunate enough not to rip it down first! Managed to get the job done after watching your video and think I understand why the light fittings in my house are different now. Thank you very much for your help, fantastic video.
Great video. Detailed organized. Thank you John.
Very well explained . Always wanted to understand how circuits worked. Well done.
This is a brilliant video, easy to follow and understand. Thank you for making this video, very helpful.
Many thanks, crystal clear. Love the Hammond.
Thank God for your very clear, thorough explanation.
Many thanks !
spent 2 days looking at these,,wish i found your vid sooner perfectly executed muchos gracias
You have made my life simple and easier. I am not an electrician but can do these at home successfully. Abim district, Uganda
Your explanations are wonderful, and I wish I'd had you as a teacher. Double points for the awesome hand-drawings :D
Well explained nice and clear thanks john.
extremely professional and well explained, well done John, interesting stuff
Thanks John, straight forward , you've got me out of a pickle and a half. Great tutorial.👍👍👍👍
You must be a lecturer ? this was the best explaintion I've seen online. Thanks.
Brilliant explanation - solved a problem that had caused confusion for years!
Thank you John, you've been a great help 👍🏻
Thank you for this presentation of basic wiring. Easy to understand. Like the Hammond btw.
Great video for learning about wiring circuits and switched light fittings.
Clear, concise and beautifully simplified, good video as always
👍
this is such a useful instruction, i remember there use to be "windows for dummies" this is more helpful than any other instructions we may get on here, well done John...
Brilliantly, clearly described and drawn. Thank you
