Some spotlights I have were flickering so I turned the power off and had a look at the wiring - I found a loose wire and tightened it up, nothing difficult there.
I did notice that the wiring was a bit strange thought (see pic).
There are four cables into the internal connector block in the fitting. The white one is a link wire to a second remote spotlight in the same room so can be ignored.
From the loft into the fitting there are three cables:
1. One cable has two wires in it. A red one and an earth - I assume this is from the switch.
2. The second cable has only one black wire.
3. The third cable has only one black wire - this is connected to the other black wire into the 'N' terminal of the fitting.
Is this a bit strange? My house was built around 1988.
