'Simple' change of light ... But where does the live go ?

MrLloyd123 · 26 Jan 2014

Hi,

The light I'm attempting to put up has a live and a neutral... Assuming the neutral goes to the black where should the live go ? ... I only have two choices, a terminal with 3 reds or a terminal with one red ...my guess is its the single red. Is this correct ?

Thanks any tips
... And clearly I'm no electrician

Yes that single Red is the Switch wire so connect the Brown or Red from the fitting to it

Thanks Lucky .... Re the bracket being upside down .... That's what I thought, bit odd ... Considering it was an electrician who put the last light up.

Probably an Australian electrician.
