It looks to me like this is cloth-over-rubber wire, and you must watch that for aging/deterioration, and the maker went to some trouble to make one wire black-ish and the other white-ish. However it looks to me like this is a common 2-cable switch arrangement with supply coming into the switch, and the lamp on a spur. (DO NOT disconnect and splay out every wire - generally every cable comes into a box anonymously, and the data about the function of the wires is stored in how they are hooked up.) Wires in the boxĬranking the gamma in Photoshop told me a bit about what's going on in the back of the box, but a flash photograph up close could be more helpful. They're not spares, they were already doing a job, and separating them broke that job. The two wires that were previously joined need to be joined again. Now, this started with a cognitive bias: that since Gosund needs certain wires, surely they must be there. This requires skill and experience, and there's simply no substitute for that. Nothing should be done without knowledge or reasonable expectation. ![]() So stopping at the first one "that works" is Russian Roulette. The reason is simple: lots of combinations will work, but will kill you. Don't just toss wires around hoping for a positive outcome. The first rule of electrical for novices is don't experiment. ![]()
