Hi, i’m hoping someone can help, if possible….. i’m fitting a new ceiling light (with 3 seperate 25w bulbs) in the bathroom, and don’t know how to connect with the old wiring from above, which has 2 earth wires (previously connected to a “line”? screw point for the old light), 2 black wires (which went to the “loop-in”, then to the bulb), and 1 red (to the neutral, then to the bulb). i think i can identify which of these run back to the switch, but how should the new light be connected through its live, neutral, earth block, please?
At the (1-way) switch end, there are 2 earth wires, 2 red wires joined together, and 1 more single red. Will they connect to the new pull-switch quite easily? The connectors there are com-L, L1 and L2, as well as the earth.
Sorry if this is basic – or if i’ve made no sense – but good advice would really be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
HI, go to our DIY Projects section and look under “Electrical”. You will see there are several projects which will help you, not least, replacing a light fitting, wiring a ceiling rose and lights and switches.
