i am changing a batton light fitting to a pendant in a room. but im stuck enfortunatly. Currently i have disconnected the old fitting and have just 2 wires coming out from the celing.
The 2 wires each have a 2 core and earth.
1. I take it one of the wire is the power in and the other is to switch wire?
2.am i right in saying to indentify the power in from the switch wire if i hold a tester to the brown cores on each wire only the brown core on one wire will show live and that will be power in?
3. my to switch cable is my main problem as the cores are 2 BROWN and earth unlike the power in cable which is 1 brown, 1 blue and earth. I dont know which brown core from the switch wire goes into which of the terminals, either the loop or live. will it matter if i have the 2 brown cores coming out from the switch wire mixed up?
thanks you all for your time and any advise is welcome thank you
