Thanks for confirming that, just so i am on the same page, the two neutral cables I can screw into a single neutral block on the new connector? I understand about having a wago for the three brown cables in the middle as I did this on a previous light fitting.

Apologies for my overly cautious post. I have already swapped over one light fitting due to the awesome help on this group and after testing today everything is working perfectly. Coming to my next one I wanted to check I am doing everything safely and correctly! On the old fitting i have two...

Yes

Yes My hall has 2 light fittings with one switch, same in my living room 2 lights for one switch so this explains how the lights are linked up. My only concern is in my new fitting I only have the live and neutral so I know I have to terminal the loop cables which I know how to do thanks to...

Ok yes I think I am starting to understand how this loop system works. I had never came across this until I look at my light setting in my current property.

Thanks will do, one previous person mentioned how the loop goes back to the switch to help turning it on or off, I think I misunderstood somehow, but once I terminate the loop the light switches will still work to turn the lights on and off again?

There are two lights in my hallway, one has a cable in the loop (out of the three), the other light has no cables going to the loop. So does this mean I must have a loop cable connected somehow so the light switch will turn the light on and off? If this is the case I am at a loss as to how to...

Awesome thanks, right that is certainly helping my knowledge!

As I'll be terminating all the loop cables, you mentioned it goes to the light switch, surely my light switch will keep working after terminating the loop cables? I don't see why it would suddenly stop working?

Don't stuff 2 wires in the same hole ;) = Some like that sort of thing lol! Ok dumb question, now I get what you mean by one cable one connector hole. What happens if you put two cables in one hole, will it short the circuit? I am guessing that or an electrical fire etc, I would like to know...

Awesome thanks, I wasn't sure these were live (the loop cables), but I was going on the logic of "If I don't know what the cable does, then treat it like a live cable". Right ok this makes sense now. Thanks! I'll be sure to document my light fittings before I do anything so if I screw up I can...

I think so, going on the above diagram the two neutral I have seen in the current rose fitting earthing it, so those i need to unscrew and rescrew to the new rose fitting The two in the middle of the photo (the black cable and black cable with red on) are the live and earth cables which on my...

Also with the ago terminal connector, would you wire the three loop wires into one single wago connector or have three wago connectors, one for each wire? Just wondering what is the best way to do this (safest way)? Thanks

Awesome! Thank you for confirming I had this planned correctly. I had not forgotten about marking what cables are what and taking photos of the current setup incase I want to change it back or it does not work. What does the loop do? I know this is a dumb question but in each of my fittings...
