After purchasing a table lamp, you need to correctly connect the three wires inside the switch to the lamp. So how do you wire them? Today I'll explain in detail.

1. The three wires of a table lamp switch are a live wire, a neutral wire, and a ground wire. Two of these wires must be connected. The live wire will have an "L" mark on it and needs to be connected to one of the switch terminals. There are three contact points on the back of the switch: L1, L2, and L1. Connect L1 and L2 together.

2. Connect the neutral wire to the other "L" terminal, and the ground wire to the first terminal. After connecting, pull on the wires to check if they are secure. If there is no looseness, close the switch panel.

What are the precautions for wiring a table lamp switch?

1. Different switches have different installation heights. If installing an air conditioner switch, the height from the ground should be at least 1.6 meters. 1. If you are installing a range hood, its socket switch should be at least 2 meters above the ground. However, the refrigerator socket switch doesn't need to be so high; 0.3 meters above the ground is sufficient.

2. When installing a table lamp, pay attention to the wiring. Since most people are right-handed, it can be installed on the right side for easy turning the light on and off.
