I am attempting to cahnge my bathroom light.
When I removed the old one, I was horrified at the potentila fire that I could see.
Instead of the 2 or 3 wires I was expecting to see, there was indeed seven.
4 Red 2 Black and one green/yellow
The reds were all connected into a terminal block and wrapped in (well burnt) elec tape.
The black wires were similar.
Each of these then had single wires from the terminal blocks to the bulb fitment.
The green / yellow wire was taped out off the way.
I notice that my bedroom light doesnt work now, so I take it that the bedroom light is taken from the bathroom too?
If I wire the new light in as the old one was, is this safe? It certainly doesnt look safe with the amount of black burnt tape in there!
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
