Hey everyone, im new to the forum and am wondering if anyone can provide some support as I am trying to wire up a new ceiling fitting...
I have a three light ceiling fitting and I am trying to fit it in to an existing electrical fitting. I have three neutral and three live wires from the new fitting and three earth wires from the existing fitting which we have connected to the earth wire from the new fitting. I also have a red wire from the exiting fitting connected to a black wire from the existing fitting, the other two existing red wires I have connected to the new live wires on the new fitting and the two remaining black wires from the existing fitting we have connected to the blue wires on the new fitting.
At this time we have lights working throughout the flat and all switches work except the one that should operate this light fitting, we have moved a few of the wires round and we have had this switch operate other lights throughout the flat, so we know its a switchlight problem. But I have tried most combinations and just cannot get this one switch to work correctly, we understand that the black switch wire has a red sleeve usually but ours does not, so can anyone provide any advice as to how we can find which is the correct switch wire without trying dozens of combinations.
Many thanks in advance
John
