Any advice on the two remaining loop wires? The red and the brown ones? Do i put them both into one side of the light or one in and one out?

Ok so took the dog for a walk and popped into Wickes and bought a new spotlight bar that is suitable for bathrooms. This one also has 2 extra ports for looping wires. So...... Assuming the wires in the cable on the extreme left of the orignal picture are for the extractor fan, I'm only...

I've opened the fan isolation switch and it is wired up as can be seen in the picture. 2 cables coming in to the switch, both with 1 brown, 1 grey and 1 black wire and both seem to be sharing the green/yellow wire as there is a copper wire from each leading into the casing of the green/yellow.

There is an extractor fan in the loft, but we don't ever have it switched on as there is no vent for it to the outside. I presume I could ignore these and push them up through the hole in the ceiling into the loft? Would they still be live once the power goes back on?

Well spotted! Ive had a look and it is a blue cable with a brown sleeve over it. What does that make it?

Hi, newbie to the site looking for help - I've tried searching and reading other posts but i'm still stuck! Attempting to install a new spotlight bar in our bathroom. I've removed the old ceiling rose intending to wire the earth, neutral and live wires to the new bar as stated in the...
