yes, to use the switch to provide the power But it does need an earth , for safety - and that Red wire connected to the earth leads ,needs investigating as to why its connected to earth and what it actually does

that maybe a problem , although electric does not know what colour wire is and its up to the installation to use the guidance standard - then a red wire connected to the earths would need investigating , maybe a photo would help - maybe thats NOT an earth at all , but used for something else and...

Slots??? are they not connector blocks - i didnt see a red wire connected to the earths ??? in the shot you gave, can you post again Earth, yes it should be earthed i would not trust a fan spinning and any vibration on a bit of ceiling board - although i guess with the right connectors /...

Yes , Live to the Black brown wire - Neutral to the black wire Earth to yellow/green sleeved wire And fixed onto a beam NOT just the ceiling board - so how was the pendant fixed to ceiling ? You could box up those connectors into the ceiling void and run a 3 way cable down to the fitting -

thats normal - but usually it has a connector behind - https://electriciancourses4u.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/lighting-example-1.png

Depends on how you want it to run , can be connected to the live and be ON all the time and controlled from the remote OR only work if the light switch is operated - although when light switch is on - i guess you will be able to just turn off from the remote control So LIVE to the loop Or the...

how will it be switched on/off does it have pull cords or remote

as mentioned show the connections on the fan/light - often they have lights as a separate comnneciton so it can be switched from the light switch same for fan

posted at same time as pete01 loop in Live and neutral and earth from some other light fixing or CU then the next wire is Live down to switch and live back from switch - Black with the brown sleeving on then the black with no sleeving is the neutral SO how will the new light fitting work -...

oh dear , so now i'm replacing the whole thing and pipework to the toilet - I guess the holes in the bottom pf cistern are all different too and so a new cistern

That would work, everything is black now handles etc - so thanks for that Are the flush valves all standard size - so a direct replacement for the one i have

Thanks , are the drop valve thing all standard size fittling - i know this cistern, valve just twists out i will have to think about the hole we have now - much larger and goes over the bit thats missing at the top of the cistern

I see from an old forum thread in 2015 suggested replacement pushbutton with a cable pushbutton https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/toilet-push-button-conversion-to-lever.447200/ https://www.screwfix.com/p/fluidmaster-push-button-cable-dual-flush-valve/51173 We have a comfort level cistern -...

yes , exactly that - junction box replacing the existing lamp holder - then it depends how you plan to wire things - if 3 lights - you could go up to 1 holder and then from that take one to each of the other lights - or if all in 1 direction 1 to next bulb holder and then onto next bulb holder...

its the conductors in each T&E - not the cables them selves From the switch - should just have L,N,E (but need to check that is the case , dont why not but who knows how they have chosed to wire it) - looking at th epicture , that should just be a T&E - Switched Live, neutral and earth From...

ok, so you also need green/yellow sleevign for the earth YES , 3 connectors - all live connect to the same connector all neutral connect to the same connector all earth connect to the same connector hence the 3 connections - why did you think 4 hence my question re switched and also whats...

thanks i was thinking 3 way rather than 4 - but the difference is not worth it - good point

i have purchased so good led on offer from screwfix for the garage have about 5 in that 3 car garage and 2 for the car area when using as a workshop cutting etc - also TLC do some good lights i have used in utlity for control type and mount of light

yes , thats what i would do - if you wanted to switch some of the additional lights you could add a switch - or do you just want all 3 on every time why 4 way ? whats in the light at the moment - maybe just the 2 wires neutral and switched live - with all th econnections in the switch...
