I have 4 cables coming down into my rose.

1. 2 red wires (switch)
2. 1 red wire, 1 black wire (supply)
3. 1 red wire, 1 black wire (supply)
4. 1 single black (unearthed)

Step by step, and using the ban-all-sheds diagram in the reference section "REPLACING A CEILING ROSE WITH A LIGHT THAT HAS ONLY L/N/E CONNECTIONS" all was fine. Until I came across the single black wire. I don't remember what terminal it was connected to; and haven't a clue where it should go.Can anyone help?

Regards
Percy

try leaving it. see if something stops workin. its possible that its the neutral for an outside light and the live is taken from the switch
