[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Most welcome! I'm so glad it helps!

[@haroldkayizzi6013]

Only video that clearly related to what I was handling.... Smart switch😊 Thanks

[@charleslim1296]

what if we accidentally connect the live wire with the service yard wire while trying to identify the other 2 since all the wires are of the same color?

[@alanlimbl]

Hi, i wish to understand how you determine that the toilet light wire is the daisy chain that supply to the rest of the house?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Hi check out this video for more information on how a Daisy Chain works kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2nFmpVuhal7iJY

[@colinchong4187]

Hi, good stuff. But I have live cable and light wires. Then I see additional black wire. I am stubbed as to that. Earth cable? Thks

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Wow I gotta see a picture

[@colinchong4187]

@@ThePunggolHandyMan sorry my bad. Realise it’s another light cable. Due to your tutorial, I fixed my first 2 gang broken switch. Thank you much. Keep up the good work

@@colinchong4187 thank you for the vote of confidence!

[@koskobirok9760]

If you trun the second pole on. Will the yard 💡 and the toilet 💡 turn on?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

No. If I turn the second switch on, only the yard light is turned on,

Thank you so much man for sharing this video, it is very helpful

great tip and a well-made video. you explained everything so that even i could understand... many thanks!

[@S0meGuy99]

For a 2 gang 1 way smart switch where there is a Live, Neutral and two Load terminals, is the COM wire for the rest of the house inserted into the Neutral terminal of the smart switch?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Hi different smart switches have different wiring. Best ask your supplier

[@tanchoonheong]

Just wondering, is there no law that say that BTO/HDB that electrical wiring must be with proper colour code? everything brown colour? no earth wire?

[@mingwei84]

thank you for this video... life savior. resolved issue with the bridge wire...~

My 3 gang switch has 1 com port but my new one has 3 com ports, 1 for each L1. I was told that I need to connect the com ports. What kind of wire should I use ? On online shopping I can see AWG ranging from 14 to 30. Thanks.

[@Rexy889-gk6jh]

My light switch only 1 L. Can I connect 2 live wires together

[@rudyasmara5221]

What if the fixtures i have got neutral coming out? Where does it go on the switch?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Is this HDB? Or maybe you're looking at a dual pole connection

[@xxxyyy9544]

I assume that style neon tester is still legal in your country. You would get thrown off site in UK/Europe. Use a non-contact voltage test pen.

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Yeah it's legal here

[@TheSrbalaji]

The old switch will have the label for the wiring for live n netural?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Switches are usually live and load, light point is live and neutral. Depending on who installed it your wires may be labelled or unlabelled.

[@Adamfound13]

Hi do you know how to convert switch light to 3 pin plug?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Haha depends on your setup it might be possible, however there may not be any ground connection

[@Adamfound13]

@@ThePunggolHandyMan ahh i see ya i think mine no ground connection, but can it be modified ?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Yes it possible, I think its best you contact me via FB to discuss further

[@nanthakumar2262]

Broooooo.... Thank yiu soo so much 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@danialhashim9395]

Hi, live goes to com and not load right? My current set up is live to load and not com. Help😭

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Live to com, load is light 😀

[@hussainsedate]

What if we have two live wires on the two gang switch board, what to do?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Check out the video on house wiring and daisy chain That should explain heaps

[@aromamorrish7597]

If you have two live wire in the two gang board meaning you are connecting without looping common

[@teosoontong]

My punggol home 2 gangs 1 way only have 3 wires (not 4) to connect 2 lights , is it possible. Gang 1: wire 1 to COM, wire 2 to the other slot. Gang2: daisy chain wire in one slot, wire 3 to other slot. Total only 3 wires : wire 1,2,3

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Yes if it is 2 gang 1 way, having 3 wires is correct because that's the end of the chain

[@vincentyeo5043]

Can attest to not putting silicone around switches. U can't paint over silicone lol. Anyway to paint over silicone?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Nah it depends on the silicone. It must be the printable kind. I usually use caulk. Check the link below. This one is says paintable on the tube amzn.to/3WtPdPz

[@ngkenneth211]

@@ThePunggolHandyMan Hi, any recommendations for caulk that I can get in Singapore? I was doing research and all the caulk I come across are those in the large tubes that require the caulking gun. I'm only looking to seal up some light switches, so something small and compact would be good. Thanks!

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Hi Kenneth I use this daily. Comes in a handy squeeze tube! Product Name: Selleys No More Gaps - Gap Filler Product Price: $9.5 Discount Price: $9.4 Product Link: c.lazada.sg/t/c.YkOs5b

[@yeeken1466]

Hey, appreciate your 2g1w tutorial ❤ Do you have 3g1w tutorial for viewing?

[@TheRocketsciencee]

Don't forget LOTO hehe. Anyway, any idea on how to convert concealed socket(new bto) to those protruding socket with casing? I'm thinking of creating additional power socket loop that runs externally like old hdbs.

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Easy just mount the box over the existing hole and pass the wires through. You can even use the concealed screw mounts to attach the new box (drilling the box may be required.) Then use gap filler to fill up the remaining gaps!

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

You gave me an idea for a video

[@aidilrahim7612]

This a great video bro to do.. tapping the existing conceal powerpoint to another new powerpoint either via trunking or conceal la......i just done with this project just become of my fish tank😂😂😂😂😂

[@harisukhani6530]

Well explained, Good job. Thanks Wang

[@AaronKNH]

Hi I need help, I'm changing my kichine switch it is connected to my hood and light. It's a 2 Gang but not sure how many way. How to identify? I take a photo and show to the hardware shop person he also not sure! How I wish I could upload a photo here.

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Hi Aaron do contact me via fb I'm more than happy to assist!

[@winwinwin282828]

Nice content. Do you know how electrician can work without turning off the circuit breaker? I never see them turn them off

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Well if you understand the circuit well you know "dead zones. I recommend shutting off the breakers as many of my viewers are beginners and that is the safest thing to do do

[@darylsim1260]

Psps, can I check if the daisy chain wire can be slot into a N (neutral) slot? Cause the standard HDB 2 gang switch has L1 & L and L2 and L. But the new one I bought has L1 L2 L and N. Connecting the live and the daisy chain to L doesnt work
