2 Neutral Cables - Lighting

[sandybeachit]

Apologies for my overly cautious post.
I have already swapped over one light fitting due to the awesome help on this group and after testing today everything is working perfectly.

Coming to my next one I wanted to check I am doing everything safely and correctly!

On the old fitting i have two neutral cables fit separately, on the new fitting I only have one fitting to plug them into.

Is it safe for me to plug the two separate neutral cables into the one neutral socket on the new light fitting?

I have held off doing any further work so far, best to go slow and not have a huge electrics bill to put things right than screw up!

Thanks for your advice!

you also have 3 lives - the 3 brown wires which will need to be connected up to a separate connector - NOT that light fitting one

you have a loop

Live and neutral wires coming in and then going out to the next light - hence the 2 neutrals
in addition to the 2 lives - you also have a 3rd wire which takes live to the switch and then comes back as a switched live - Blue wire with the brown sleeving to the separate connector - where the light itself is wired.

so the connector you have on the fitting will not work for all those wires

here is a picture of what you have

need to wire a light switch - If you are new to lighting circuits, this is a good place to start. Here we will explain how the most common lighting circuit works. full set of wiring diagrams (new cable colours)

I would use a junction box like this to turn the three cables into one. It will be hard getting them into the choc block you have, and your one terminal short.

Yes ,you can put the 2 neutrals into the new terminal blocks neutral terminal. And you will need a fourth terminal block for the 3 brown to go into ,or a 3 way wago.
Does your new light fitting require earthing or is it a class 2 ?
Wondering why there is no earth conductor in the terminal block ?

Thanks for confirming that, just so i am on the same page, the two neutral cables I can screw into a single neutral block on the new connector?

I understand about having a wago for the three brown cables in the middle as I did this on a previous light fitting.

Any connector will do.
