This is probably one of the most annoying requests ever but just want some advice with regards to fitting a new light fixture. I unscrewed my plastic rose pendant when I moved into my new build, and took a photo ready to fit my new metal light fitting. Fast forward three months and I loosened off the wires ready to put up a new metal fitting and realised I must have deleted the photo of the setup...doh....feel so stupid. It looks relatively obvious. I have a terminal block with 3 connections in the light fitting, I do have a spare terminal block. I'm not 100% on which is the switch live from the ceiling....god damn it. The photo shows a bit of the confusion, two cables, each with an earth that goes into one (never seen an earth like this). Then I have 3 brown but all of slightly different brown colour! One has a black wire with brown sleeve so will assume thats the switch live but what's the grey with blue sleeve? Never seen that before. With my 3 connections in my light fitting I will assume I must use another terminal block to put the lives together? Am I thinking correctly? I am a little worried because when I took the fitting down the fuse tripped and yet the downstairs lighting circuit was off. I only think the earth and neutral wires touched...enough phantom voltage to trip the switch?! Any advice on what goes where would be appreciated.
