Changing fluorescent light to pendant light

[keepgoing]

I had 2 lights in the kitchen on 1 switch.
A pendant light and a fluorescent light.
I have removed the fluorescent light from the ceiling.
I only have 1 cable coming out of the ceiling with 3 wires, Red, Black and Copper
When I wire them to the pendant light fitting the new light does not work.
The first pendant light still works.
I have attached a picture of the kitchen,
a picture of the fluorescent light where the wires from the ceiling went and a
picture of the cable coming out of the ceiling with the 3 wires.
Any advice would be appreciated.

2 lights come on together when 1 switch is flipped?

Connected to the fluorescent fitting?

When I wire them to the pendant light fitting the new light does not work.

When you wire what to the pendant light fitting? See next comment.

The first pendant light still works.

You have dismantled the fitting. Have you undone any terminal screws in the pendant fitting?

How many conductors are connected to the terminals that the lamp holder is connected to?

Please take a close up picture of the wiring in the fitting that works.

Turn off that circuit before moving the lamp holder.

Hi

Yes, 2 lights come on together when 1 switch is flipped

The 1 cable coming out of the ceiling was attached to the fluorescent light, the picture above shows where it was attached.
Picture of fluorescent light now attached.

We have wired the cable coming out of the ceiling to this light fitting, photo attached

We have not undone any terminal screws.
Picture of the wiring attached.

Thank you

We cannot really see where the wires go in the third picture.

But if all you have done is disconnected the fluorescent light and connected another and it does not work then either it is faulty or a wire has broken.

Are you trying to confuse us?

If you pull the wires through from the old florescence there will be the wring rest of the lighting circuit in some connectors.

ok, thank you

Not if the cable just comes from the other light fitting.

Judging by the number of wires in the other fitting I VERY MUCH doubt there will be anything relevant above that position.

Show us a pic of how you connect the new light fitting to the cable coming out of the ceiling

It might be that you trapped the insulation of one of the conductors when you connected the new fitting to replace the fluorescent.

Check the connections there. If that's fine, check the connections at the other end.

Also check the lamp you used in the new fitting is working.
