Hi, newbie to the site looking for help - I've tried searching and reading other posts but i'm still stuck!
Attempting to install a new spotlight bar in our bathroom. I've removed the old ceiling rose intending to wire the earth, neutral and live wires to the new bar as stated in the instructions, but I have about 10 different wires hanging from the ceiling and I've no idea what goes where!!
The pictures attached show the wires, there's 3 large grey 'wires' hanging down with various wires coming out of them as follows:
Grey wire 1 - has 1 green/yellow, 1 black, 1 brown and 1 grey wire.
Grey wire 2 - has 1 green/yellow and 2 browns
Grey wire 3 - has 1 black and 1 red wire and also what looks like 1 copper wire that feeds into the green/yellow in Grey wire 2.
The spotlight bar has 3 ports for live, neutral and earth. Again, photo attached.
Can anybody help? I've no idea what goes where! Stupidly I also didnt make a note of the wiring before I removed the old rose, I presumed most of the wires were part of the old light fixture and would come away with the old rose leaving just a live, neutral and earth dangling from the ceiling - not 10 like I've got now!
Total novice at all this so any help would be greatly appreciated....
