Happy New Year everyone,
I have purchased a new ceiling light for my bathroom (Modern Simple Style Waterproof Round Ceiling Light Color Change for Bedroom, Bathroom & Balcony) from Lightzey. I think the bulb information is LED, 220V and maximum wattage 36W (as i've bought the largest diameter light it states 20W/24W/36W)
The LIVE (BROWN) and NEUTRAL (BLUE) wires on this new light are tiny (2 x 0.5mm2) compared to the existing wire LIVE (RED), BLACK (NEUTRAL) and GREEN/YELLOW (EARTH) in the ceiling. I've looked at my fuse box in the house for lights and it has a 5A fuse.
The instructions are very basic but show the light being simply spliced together using a wire nut.
Question, is it ok to simply twist these two different sized wires together and pop a wire nut over the top? or is there a better way of joining two different sized wires.
Thank you in advance
