Wiring for a combination boiler with two central heating zones, each zone controlled by its own thermostat.
This shows two methods of switching the boiler using volt free contacts and is intended for boilers that do NOT have a 230V switched input, and use some other voltage such as 24V. 230V switching is covered in the previous episode.
The arrangements in this video could be used for 230V switching, but there is very little point in doing so.
Suitable for use with almost any thermostat including Nest, Hive and other smart devices. Also applies to wireless, wired, mains powered and battery thermostats.

An exceptionally poor quality illuminated rocker switch. Single pole, claims to be rated 16 amps, 250 volts AC.
This was removed from a 3 gang extension lead which cost 1 euro for the entire thing. That was also a low quality dangerous mess.

A look at various colours of electroluminescent wire and driver units which operate from 12 volts DC.
These were purchased from banggood.com, but similar wire can be obtained from ebay, aliexpress and so on - keywords to search for are 'EL WIRE NEON GLOW' even though this is not actually neon.
