Hi, New to this so apologies if im going over old ground.
My problem is a replacement light fitting in the bathroom. the old one disintegrated on changing a bulb so i went and got a new one.
On trying to put the new one in i find it has only two poles whereas the old one had three.
there are six wires to the rose, theres an extractor fan wired in to the light circuit, earth two red two black and a grey which i assume is neutral. How do i connect them so light and fan work together, no overrun, tried twisting the pairs of red and black together but fuse blew on operating the switch
oibviously from reading further i know ive wired together a switched and permanent live. still have too many wires, what do i do with them
