Hi,
I am refurbing my kitchen and had the ceilings down so ran some cable for a new kitchen feed, and downlighters from a reel left by the previous homeowner. I have now boarded and plastered the ceiling.
I just pulled the cable through the first downlighter hole and noticed it has two browns which I guess means it was a reel of switch cable. I have two sets of 8 downlighters each and an external light fed with this blooming cable so not best pleased!
I dont have a continuity tester handy right now and need to get some light on so can I just wire into the CU and then wire up a JB for the first set of downlighters and if it trips I have mixed up L and N. So swap them over then, test OK then wire up second JB for other lights and see if that trips, and then repeat for the external light.
