Tape Loop
Tape Loop
In Loop Wiring - should I call an electrician?
Im trying to fit some new celing lights in my lounge but it appears the wiring isn't just a case of adding the brown, green/yellow and blue wires to there corresponding place - I have (I think) what is called a Loop Wiring system in place so I have 2 black wires, 3 grey wires and some others wrapped in red tape. Should I just call an electrician or is this simpler than it looks?
Best to call an electrician, however, if you have a go at it yourself make sure the power is off at al times and nobody else can flick it on while you are messing.
I would say that the bunch of wires taped up sound like earth wires on a loop. Your light fitting inself can be earthed if it is metal, ie a small screw will be on the fitting somewhere to allow attachment the earth if it is a metal.
If you are fitting a plastic fitting, the taped up (earth) wires can be fixed to the thing or not. Just leave them taped up as long as they can't touch any other wires.
Now the other two bunched of wires need to go to each side of the light fitting as live and neutral. It is fiddley and awkward, all the wires need to be used, for the loop into the next room.
Should you group them up the wrong way round, you might find that the lightswitch is 'down' when it should be up, so instead of re-wiring the light fitting again, turn the lightswitch round the other way, so it appears to be right!
Make sure the wires are all in tight and not likely to pull out! Loose wires can get hot.
Make suere you use the right bulbs too, ie not a 100 watt bulb in a fitting designed for a 60 watt max.
If you are fitting a fan, it will need to be earthed.
If you are in doubt call a professional, if you do something wrong it will trip your breakers.
Dont start a job like this too late in the day, as it will get too dark to work!
The 3 grey wires go on one side and the two black on the other! One of the blacks and one of the greys go to your lightswitch(have a look u will see them) the greys are live, might be red inside the grey sleeving too. Two of the wires go off into the next room and this is the loop, it will be one black and one grey!

What do you think of the speculation that the BP oil spew could stop the loop current in the oceans globally?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUN1eZEdnAk
The man on this tape speaks with a heavy accent but reports the breaking down of the loop current in the gulf and elsewhere within its immediate vicinity
the Breaking of the Loop Current in the Gulf Stream
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_Hy9AhOdec
-------------------
No loop current --- no oxygen exchange --- death of the plants the bacteria the fish and so forth
No loop current the weather is no longer pushed along by sea currents and moon tides and air currents become moderated forces
source of this text: http://www.lorenzohagerty.com/blog/?p=210
The huge oil slick could, in all probability, cause irreparable damage to the activity of thermal regulation of the Gulf Stream, with a domino effect on global climate of the planet. . . . This is what says a study published on the website of the Italian Geophysics by the Institute of Atmospheric Sciences Climate ISAC-CNR. The summary of the study, is signed by Gianlugi Zangari, a theoretical physicist, is born by the National Laboratories of Frascati, after careful observation, satellite in real time, the large area of concern. . . . According to the Italian scientist, Gianlugi Zangari, maps of sea surface velocity and height, indicating that the Loop Current is broken for the first time May 18, creating a reel clockwise. . . . An image recorded on June 12 shows that the situation has worsened so much to create the complete detachment from the mainstream, thus completely destroying the Loop Current. . . . Considering that, in comparison with satellite data prior similar situation does not exist, it is highly plausible to connect the Loop Current to break the physical and biochemical changes caused by the great black sea. . . . The Italian study provides, arguing that the damage to the current warm Loop Current, is likely to cause a domino effect of unpredictable phenomena of instability on global climate. . . . At present, experts and politicians involved, to reassure the public monetized compensation for environmental damage, but it is increasingly clear that in economic terms, one can reconstruct an equilibrium global climate thousands of years.
A pdf of the study exists at this link
http://preventdisease.com/news/pdf/OilSpill-CNR.pdf
This report was created by the Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate and signed by the Italian physicist Dr Gionluigi Zangari who tracked the separation of the loop current into a separate current from the gulf stream after the oil disaster.
Dr. Beagle interviewed him as no other mainstream news will print the truth these days.
