Bedroom light fitting - quick question

by trickyneath » Sat Jul 16, 2011 2:29 pm

Just taken an old light fitting down and I have, 1 red, 1 green/yellow, 2 black.

Usually I'd connect

red - brown
black - blue
earth - earth

Now I'm guessing one of the blacks is switched live? How do I tell which black to connect to blue? Then where should the other one go?

Thanks!
Rich

BEFORE any further exploration with the mains supply TURNED OFF.
You would need to properly verify with test equipment , your switch wires , by doing continutiy tests , then you would verify the function of each coloured conductor. if you are unable to do this you need to get expert help in to assist you
