    ceiling rose wiring

    Postby milligan » Tue Aug 07, 2007 6:29 pm

    Hi all!
    Trying to fit two new lights in my living room,opened up the old rose to find 3 red and 2 black wires, 1 double switch operates both lights.
    The wiring instructions say that this product must be earthed,which one is the earth?
    THANK YOU!!!

    U SHOULD HAVE A BARE COPPER WIRE IN BETWEEN THE
    COLOURED CORE S OF YOUR CABLES.
    OR R YOUR CABLES SINGLE CABLES ?
