Hi
I'm currently renovating a house and want to change the lighting in the kitchen from a pendant-style bulb to downlighters.
The problem is, the DIY books I own assume the lighting circuits use twin-core-and-earth whereas my lighting circuit currently uses single-core PVC wiring.(The circuit is not currently earthed but I'm going to fix that).
I've seen previous postings referring here to this type of wiring with two red wires leading to the light switch, but some of my light switches have three red wires. I think the third wire is connected to the next switch in the circuit...
What is going on here? I want to make sure I know what each wire is doing before I go messing with them. Do I need to get a pro in?
