I have installed a new light fitting where there was previously a ceiling rose using the loop wiring system.
Connections on the new spotlight were L, N and E so I managed to clip out the terminal blocks from the existing ceiling rose and trimmed the L and N from the existing terminator block. I then wrapped the terminal blocks in insulation tape as they are metal (although they sit in a plastic holder).
I then connected the L, N and E to the new light fitting terminal blocks and all works fine. Please note the fitting takes 40w G9 halogen bulbs.
I would appreciate it if someone could confirm if I have installed correctly.
The thing that worries me is that in the instructions they state the following:
Fuse Value: A light fitting should be connected to a lighting circuit protected by a 5-amp fuse, (or 6-amp residual current device). If a light fitting is to be connected to a ring main, a fused connection unit fitted with a 3-amp fuse should be installed.
As I have connected to the ring main I guess I have to add a fused connection unit. Where can you purchase these? Where should I connect this?
Thanks for your help on this.
