HELP :!: Trying to put up a new light up without a ceiling rose.
coming out the ceiling i have :
4 red wires -1 taped with black tape
2 black wires - no tape
1 green & yellow
so...... i blocked off the 3 red without tape and the one with tape i presumed was live and put it in the new light opposite the brown . The 2 blacks i put together in the neutral and connected the green . With fingers crossed i turned on the lights :arrow: Not only did they not work but also the lights in the next bedroom STOPPED working oops :oops:
please help, running out of candles . lea
Hope this all makes sense to someone
that sounds rather unconventional!!
your thinking makes sense, but
I would say that red with black tape is probably a neutral, never seen it done like that before myself though! bit naughty if it is
