Hi there , I have just bought two new lights one for the kitchen and one for the dining room .
The kitchen light was easy to fit , just looked odd seeing two red wires isolated , not connected to the actual light connector inside the rose .
I have tried to put the new light up in the dining room , but the wiring is different , instead of three wires , there is
1. A Brown wire
2. Three red
3. three earth
4. two neutral.
Now the rose plate had all these wired in , but I have no room for that old plate so have removed it and hoped to use the new connector but it has only THREE holes to connect into.
So I connected the three red wires in the live connecter , three earths in the earth and two neutrals in neutral , and the light is now on , only the light will not switch off , it is permanantly on.
Can someone please advise me , that one brown wire I left unhooked , presumably it is the swith wire (live) where should I place it ?
should i place it with the other three red wires , there is hardly enough room .
Thankyou for your help.
