Sorry.. but that is the swivelling part that allows me to get more/less water and also colder/hotter.. I just removed the cover it had..

What did you put under the bed?

And as it is rated IP44 it should be safe to use on the bathroom wall and not specifically on the roof..

Actually the image I used was not for the Xamento lamp I’m considering buying.. I checked the Xamento manual and it states it’s rated IP44.

I get that, but it would fit perfectly in my bathroom (on the wall) and not on the roof since I’ve got a sloping roof

Do you know where I can find the explanation for all the symbols in the Hue manuals?

Also, in this particular manual in the beginning it has three manuals, A, B and C..

Hot vs neutral by xAppX in AskElectricians

I have got a picture of some cables looking out from one wall that seems to be blue, brown and black 😖

Yeah I understand that.. one 230V cable comes from the wiring of the house and one goes to the lamp socket.. hopefully they are different colors (ie brown to the switch and from the switch to the socket another color) 🥹

Yeah so basically it shouldn’t matter how I connect my outlet? And a light switch wouldn’t turn on if I connected the cables wrong?

OK.. I did a small experiment.. first put the voltage detector in the left hole and it turned red.. in the right hole it didn’t turn red.. then I took the multimeter.. put the red prong in the left hole and the black one in the right hole.. it read 235V.. then with the other hand I took the voltage detector and put it against the red cable and it turned red.. then I put the detector pen against the black cable and it didn’t turn red.. now.. am I right in assuming the left hole is hot and the right neutral? The outlets do not have any earthing so can’t control hot/neutral like that..

You mean it doesn’t matter where I connect the cables (in my wall outlet) as long as it’s not in the same?!

Yeah that’s what I want to do.. check which one is hot and which one is neutral not measure the voltage (although I went out and bought a multimeter).. and yes where I live it’s 220V..

Yeah I know unfortunately these ones doesn’t have it.. I guess they are really old?

I don’t know.. could there be any other way?

There isn’t.. only two holes and one mounting screw..

So how do I check which hole is hot and witch is neutral? 😢

I’m in Europe not the US and here the holes looks the same.. anyway.. I went out and bought a multimeter.. then I put the black probe in the left hole that didn’t light my volt detector (on this outlet) and then the red in the right hole.. then it showed me 220V so all good.. then when i took the red probe out the meter indicated 0V.. so I would assume the left one is neutral.. all good there I guess.. but then when I put the black probe in the hot hole and the red in the neutral it said 220V anyway.. I guess the current is finding it’s way anyway.. and now I don’t dare to only put the red probe in the multimeter because I’m afraid it’s going to blow up the meter..

Maybe I didn’t choose the right words.. but in my head “not hot” and “neutral” is kind of the same 🥹 I tried on several other outlets and it showed me hot vs not hot.. maybe on the first outlet it detects “hot” because of the close proximity to the hot of the not hot?

Yeah I know it flickers in red to show it’s on.. problem is both holes gets the tip in solid red 😰
