You would not sleeve the new black conductor blue to use as the neutral and use the new blue as L3 would you?

However I think second maybe the preferred method as the industry supplies the annotated 3 pole switch, but I have not seen an annotated 2-pole switch.
Another advantage of the 2-pole switched circuit is that it isolates the whole circuit and not just the branch to the extractor.

I`d never use Black in a 3 core for N and that stems partly from the phase rotation jobby I mentioned.
Mind you I am out of kilter with a lot of folk with my 3 core for two way switching configuation. I know I`ve mentioned it before but Both Browns say L1 = perm L., Black sleeved Brown and Blue sleeved BrBrown into L2 and Finally Grey sleeved Brown as C. Of course I was brung up with Reds for L and Black for N, and R/Y/B for 3 phase, well I know some might think I`m old enough for white as 2nd phase but no I am not quite that old.
I wondered at the time why fixed wiring colours were remaining unchanged but nobody seemed able to answer that question.
Can anyone else remember the proposal for white, and why it "gave way" to black?
