Yes I do get that the metal tab needs to connect to the metal. What I'm really struggling to see is how I go from 3 connectors to 4. If you're saying add a single connector and terminate the loop live into that, then it makes sense. But then I'm gonna ask if wrapping it to the rest of the...

Ok fair enough. I was just trying to visualise how an extra connector goes into that layout. The black surround has side walls so there's no room for extra width unless the 3 way is moved somewhere else and a single connector placed there. Or if the black surround is adapted. But ok, if it's...

Ok so get a 4 way connector, adapt the black surround to accommodate. Thanks chaps. Might post a photo of what I plan to do when I've got the 4 way connector!

On the one hand it looks obvious because all the other fittings I've seen have had 3 terminals in the block but the earth has been located on the body of the fitting. On the other hand, it's a problem as the centre terminal is for earth, hence my dilemma. Thanks again for the responses...

Hi all Thanks for the answers. Maybe badly phrased question on my part. What I mean is that I know that the loop live wires need to be somewhere where they are not connected directly to the light fitting wires, hence why the central hole in the block looks like an obvious place. But yes, I do...

Hi everyone! The wife bought a fancy metal light for the lounge. From the symbol on the box, it needs to be earthed but there aren't enough terminals in the fitting (I gather they have different wiring protocol in other countries). There are 3: 1 for neutral, leading to the light fitting...
