I have removed a ceiling rose and there are 3 red, 3 black and 3 earth wires and I want to fit a new light fitting.
Normally I would connect the wires as shown on many wiring diagrams on the net and end up with a blue and brown wires going to the new light fitting.
However, in this case the new light fitting has a terminal for an earth presumably because the casing is metal. My question is: -
1) Do I put the 3 earth wires from the ceiling into the terminal on the new light fitting?
2) Or could I simply put the 3 earth wires from the ceiling into a choc block and then run a new earth wire from this choc block into the earth terminal on the new light fitting?
3) Or would either of the above be ok?
