Here is a quick question so that I can improve my knowledge..
I am familiar with normal lights and the connections ie that the neutral from the switch becomes the live feed and the 3 reds are together in the 'loop' section. However today I took down in my new house a large light with fan attached. I was surprised to note that all three black wires were together in a plastic block. Not sure if the thing was 'always on' and activated/deactivated by each of the pull chords on device itself. I also noticed that the red and black seemed to be the wrong way around in the wall switch [I don't think this is relevant..am I right in thinking that light switches will work regardless of whether red is at the top or bottom?]this is not my main qu, the main question is about the 3 blacks together. I cant remember how else it was wired as I disconnected it quite quickly because of the weight. So was it wired correctly or can I add this to the list of errors Ive already found?
many thanks
