Getting Power From 240v Tish Light
Simple way to take power of a light feed - wouldn't recommend unless you know the circuit and handle the extra load from this addition
Kill Power
Use Breaker to kill power to circuitry
Disassemble Light Fixed
- Unscrew light fixture at top and bottom
- then grab a 2 pin power cable,
- Cut the plug end off
- use clothes handing or something similar and sellotape the wire onto it.
- shove it down the conduit
- use a penknife a cut a slit on the bottom cover so the wire has space to poke out when the faceplate is screw back on
- piggyback off the live and neutral from the light switch
- screw everything back together
Test and Use
Now you can flick the breaker back on and test if it works
- you can now use power adapters like the USB one featured in the photos
- can also use the mac and iPad chargers if you pull off the plug end.
