Hi,
I've looked at the reference diagrams and read back through other topics but I'm still stuck.
I am replacing a kitchen ceiling light. I have removed the old rose and foolishly didn't note the wiring exactly.
I have three grey cables. Two of them have a red,black and earth (the earths of these two cables have been joined together by a sleeve). The other cable only has the red and the earth exposed.
Now I'm guessing the "red & earth" is my switch, but I would expect it to have the black with red sleeve live return wire from the wall switch but it's not there! The black wire is cut flush with the end of the grey casing.
And I presume the two cables that have their earth joined represent the mains "too/from" previous lights.
Also, the new light doesn't have three blocks like the old one, so I presume I need a terminator block to hold the mains loop Lives?
Any ideas how it should be wired to the new light?
