Hi, I am changing a ceiling light and found an odd configuration that I was hoping someone could explain so I don't put the new light on incorrectly.
There are three wires coming down from the ceiling. Two normal ones - black, red and yellow/green and one extra wire which is just a single wire in a grey plastic.
The two earths are taped together. The two lives are taped together (loop). The two neutrals are together in a choc block and attached to the light. The 'extra' wire is also attached to the light.
The light is old with no markings to I don't know if the the blacks or the 'extra' were connected to the live / neutral of the light.
There is only one ceiling light and on switch in the room.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
