But otherwise it's fairly straight forward, just makes notes and/or take pictures of the current wiring before you start :nod: | |

Well yeah there's that too.. But I only see it once in a blue moon really... All black seems common, although I've seen all orange wires??? | |

And some people use the wrong coloured wires all together :o | |

Easy enough job, power off is the biggest tip, other than that just check your wires as some houses use the old black/red system, others use the new blue/brown colours. | |
