I have just tried to replace an old bayonet fitting for a new brass one. I managed to get the old tired rusted on off to find the wiring (which is like stiff copper wiring very short and impossible for me to wire into the new bayonet.
How many wires should be there? I also noticed an exterior (which was screwed to the side of the fitting) a copper bare wire which I think is the earth but this is now damaged/worn.
Now from remains I can see to cores (copper?) are revealed but these are too small. So...
1) How can I safely extend these?Is it possible what do I need?
2) Which way round should they connect?
3) There are two lamps outside for the driveway the other has stopped working after/or as a result of the work that I have done so far, is this a problem?
Thanks in advance, need to try and sort this asap as need light for the drive stop other drivers knocking down my wall!
Cheers
