Can anybody help? I am trying to fit a new ceiling light. On removal of the old ceiling rose i failed to take note of the connection.
Basically I have two wires coming from the ceiling. Both with a live (red) and a neutral (black) no earth. One i assume one goes to the mains and the other goes to the switch. I think i have identified the switch wire. So after blowing a couple of fuses I now have the red and black wires from the mains wire connected to the live terminal on the new light and the black wire from the switch connected to the neutral terminal on the new light.
I have light, didn't blow any fuses but i can't turn it off from the switch.
Any solutions!
