Hi,
I went to fit a new light to the ceiling to replace an old one. I found that instead of 1 wire containing the E,L & Neutral wires - there were 3? Each Live wire was twisted together and put into the Live part of the light fitting, and the same for the other 2?
I found this same configuration in the Kitchen when I took that light down?
I took these apart, screwed the 2 sets of "Spares" in to some electricians block and tucked it up into the ceiling. I conected the remaining set.
I thought this was all OK - but when I switched Electricity back on - lights do no work at all?
Can anyone explain what I should do? Mostly confused? Why were there 3 lots of wires? Was it just unlucky that I picked the duff set?
Cheers guys,
Andy.
