How to Wire a Feed to Another Room From a Ceiling Rose Pendant 3 Plate Method Connections Explained

- How to add a feed (supply) from a ceiling rose and pendant to another area like a loft, outside lighting or another room. We look at the layout of a ceiling rose and its connections - loop, neutral and switching line and how best to lay them out the new cable conductors. At college we often have only 2 twin and CPC (twin and earth) cables at the lighting points during training but often in the real world this would be 3 cables. With 3 cables already installed within a ceiling rose it can look full but you can still add cables to it. The connections in the ceiling rose are for the 3 plate method of wiring a lighting point explained in this video.

All your videos are very well explained, are very helpful. Thanks a lot Sir.
Thanks for watching and commenting
Excellent demonstration, very neat and tidy ,
Fantastic video Gaz as always 👍👍👍👍❤️
Hi. Thank you for your video, very helpful and informative. Can I ask, once you have added an additional line out to another ceiling rose for example, can you then add a new switch line to the new ceiling rose to control the additional new rose. I ask because I want to add lighting into a wardrobe to be controlled separately from the main room. Many thanks.
Wonderful. Been looking for this wiring for months
Thanks 👍🏻
I cannot find a video how to replace a light switch with an outlet. Is it possible to do ?
Good
Thankyou for that very good. Just asking if you were taking a feed to an outside light the cable has to be 1.5 mm twin and earth coming off the ceiling rose to new outside light. Would you have to consider the length of run from rose to new outside light eg just take from closest one. Is there a maximum run on that cable.
I’m looking to add a light in a loft but I just want it to switch using the existing switch from the landing, do I just take the connections from the flex outlets to the new light? Thanks
Nice and easy on a workbench, now try it in the dark, up a 8' ladder.
Great videos!, I just need help with something, I had to replace my ceiling rose has my new light fitting is smaller than the rose. so I have installed the Wago clips, however the problem I have is like your set up here my ceiling rose has three cables coming through the rose, basically it has 2 neutrals connecting into one connector like you did, however with the Wago clips you cant put two neutral wires into one hole on the wago, so I assumed by putting it into a 4 way wago clip so each neutral is now in its own connector, because there are 4 neutral cables including the cable to the light fitting, however since I have wired it up my living room light wont come on, in fact it has tripped the fuse switch. So is it because the two neutral wires aren't connected as one, and if so what would you recommend to do as the wago doesnt work with two wires in one hole, if its not that what could be causing the other light to trip off?!
And if you just wanted to add an extra light form the same switch I assume you can just add the new T&E into the same terminals as the pendant and connect them to the pendant terminals further along the room?
Correct, mimick the existing terminals 👍
Hello and thank you for this great video - could I just ask, can I double up twice in the neutral block? -
Yep 👍🏻
Could you use any rose or has it got to be the last one ?
At what point are there too many wires in the pendant and you put them into a MF box ?
You can potentially take another feed after this. As there are 3 terminals for neutral in a standard pendent. I'd leave the 2 outermost terminals solely for the flex to the lamp holder itself. totally upto you to decide.
I like to add brown sleeving also to the brown so we all know that is going out to the switch. Makes it idiot proof if there is such a thing. Or I would mark each with a pen. Only if the two are not brown.
Not easy to do when hanging from ceiling
