Please bare with me, so, I attach my mains wires via plastic junction box thingy to the blue and Brown, remembering to connect live to live etc, then I buy a new lamp holder for my spotlight and attach that, again via a plastic junction box to the two other wires????

Sorry for my ignorance, but I have a plastic consumer unit with mcb's for each circuit that looked like their clipped in. Not sure what you mean by busbar. Do I need to take off the plastic cover or something?

Thank you. I have the the test meter prongs that light up if there is power when you touch two wires. Is this what you mean? Also, how do I test the MCB, as I have looked at pulling the switch out (whilst power off) and it doesnt seem to come out? Cheers

Good morning I wonder if someone can help me. I switched the bedroom lights on the other day and the chandelier lights bulbs blew and tripped the switch to the upstairs lights. I reset the switch to on, and it stays on, but the lights do not work upstairs. From reading I can gather...
