So, I decided to take down the ridiculous amount of strip lights on the ceiling of my utility ready to decorate, unfortunately I've now made it so both light switches have no effect. I have 5 wires coming from the ceiling but am struggling to get it back running.
Cable 1 (live,neutral, earth) - identified as live mains as tested
Cable 2 (live,neutral, earth) - appears to power a light in kitchen as when that light doesn't work. This is on a seperate switch.
Cable 3 (live,neutral, earth) - powers a light at front of house which is on a seperate switch.
Cable 4 - only live and earth
Cable 5 - only live and earth.
Cable 6 - to light fitting (live,neutral, earth)
Only Cable 1 is a live feed.
I have 2 switches for the utility lights so how do I go about wiring them in. I'm guessing the 2 wires with only live and earth, are the loop.
I'm competent enough (well I think i am) to wire up etc but I just don't know how it needs to be done.
Thanks in advance.
