Changing only chandelier fitting

[bronagh smyth]

Hi, I am looking to change this old light fitting. But when i unscrewed the fitting, there was only this brown wire you see, going up into the ceiling hole. and when I pull, there is tension, so I feel I should not pull any further. But this is the lighting cable, and I can't locate the part where this wires into to change the light. Any help?

I expect someone has raised the floor above and fitted a junction box under the floor.
Can you raise a board above?
Or else they have bodged it with a bit of terminal strip and pushed it up into the void!

So it’s an attic above, that isn’t really accessible.

Could your Grandad not squeeze in there to undo it.

If the brown cable is in good nick what's stopping you cutting the brown cable and using a wago box to connect to the new light?
