I currently have a conventional pendant-style light in my loft, which i want to replace with a fluorescent strip light (already purchased).
Having looked at the existing wiring, I'm puzzled to find there is only one twin & earth cable going into the ceiling rose, which comes from the switch. I was expecting two cables - one from the switch and another carrying the electricity supply. I have attached two photos - one showing the switch and the other showing the rose.
Is anyone familiar with this type of set-up? And am I correct in assuming that if it can be kept that way for the new strip light, all I need to do is connect the existing cable (from the switch) to the terminal block in the strip light? No other wiring required?
Thanks for any advice.
