hi
I was trying to fit on a new light fixing last night and took the old one off only to find 9 wires: 3 brown(live) 3 blue(neutral) and 3 earths,
but I only require 3! So i figured out that this is in a loop or rose circuit.
I think I might be on the right track on what to do but need advise:
1. Find the switch Live using a multimeter: try each live and nutral, then turn lights on.....
I assume that I aslo need to turn the mains on?
2. Connect all the 3 earth wires together and then feed it into the earth slot on the new light
3. connect all 3 live (brown) wires together.... What do I need to connect these
4. Use the switch Live (Blue wire) and slot into the Live slot on the new light
5. Connect the remaining 2 neutral wires together and slot into the nutral slot on the new light: what do i need to do this?
Thanks
