Ceiling rose to spotlights
Reply with quote Thanks

Guys, you have probably answered this question a 1000 times but i'm not 100% sure. Here's my situation.

Ceiling Rose 3 terminal blocks

Terminal 1
Light (L)
Switch Return

Terminal 2
Switch feed
2 x mains Loop (L)

Terminal 3
2 x Mains Loop (N)
Light (N)


Spotlights 4 terminals

Supply Lighting

loop unswitched live to loop unswitched live

above is on a separate block

Black (N) to Blue(N)
Earth to Earth
Switched Live to Brown (L)

Here's my question
is the switched live wire on the spotlight the same wire as the switch return on the rose (terminal 1). If this is the case do I then put the all the other red wires into the separate loop unswitched live terminal on the spotlights

Thanks Guys

I agree, looks ok.
Wherever you put the terminations for this, it must be accessible.
