    Wiring 6 pendant ceiling light

    As a slight update, this is where I'm at. After connecting this , not getting anything when switching the power back on. Am I missing something blatantly obvious? With the brown from the light going to the switching and blue going to blue?

    Would you recommend these over my idea? Or doesn't entirely matter? Sorry to hijack, you may have not even read the thread

    Wiring 6 pendant ceiling light

    Yep! Perfect that's all I wanted, thank you for the reply. No issues with linking the wagos or anything? Assuming it could be done similarly with terminal blocks, putting all 6 browns in one side and the ceiling switching live in the other side of the block? And then same for the blues?

    My bad, looks like it's been braided together with one of the others, initially only looked like one to me

    Wiring 6 pendant ceiling light

    They'll be sat inside the light fitting, they don't need to be in a box then do they?

    So this is the state of the light fitting at the moment and the second image is the state of the ceiling.

    Wiring 6 pendant ceiling light

    How come? Surely all the brown wires from the light fittings need to go together? And then just your switching wire from the ceiling also going with them? Leaving the rest of the looped browns in the connector block already there? (Won't be touching this)

    Wiring 6 pendant ceiling light

    Sorry, should have been more clear. The image I attached of the existing wire has since been taken down and cut away a bit ( the pendant wires were shortened), but is going back up , so all the bit below the connector block has basically been removed. So I'm now left with 6 blue, 6 brown and...

    Wiring 6 pendant ceiling light

    Yeah so that looks relatively like what I've got going on here. Minus 1 earth maybe? One of the pairs coming from the ceiling does not have an earth? So if all is well and we've confirmed that looks good, is it just a case of making the 6 blues and 6 browns into 1 wire each in theory and they...

    Wiring 6 pendant ceiling light

    Yeah I know which is the switched live that's all good, diagram unfortunately does not show the state of the ceiling wires that well. And apologies for that, I've attached an image of how the one was wired previously. I'm not an electrician so unsure if how they done it previously would be best...

    Wiring 6 pendant ceiling light

    Hi guys, Hopefully an easy one just looking for some confirmation as to whether or not my thought process is correct. I'm currently changing over some ceiling rose lights to 6 pendant lights, after having changed some other light fixtures over in the past I didn't think it would be too...

    Glugging kitchen sink

    Some more notes incase it helps anyone, if I quickly empty the sink then the washing machine seems to be the one that's gurgling!

    Glugging kitchen sink

    Never had this issue previously, only other major change is it's gone from a single bowl to a double. If that would affect anything?

    Glugging kitchen sink

    Hi guys, Hopefully an easy one for you all. Recently been fitting a new kitchen in our house and have installed a new sink trap. Since doing so we are getting a lot of glugging noises coming from the sink when a lot of water drains quickly. I understand this is due to a vacuum like scenario...
