So I am wanting to change the light fitting in our living room. This existing one was in when we bought the house.
After detaching it from its bracket. There are three wires from actual fitting, live neutral and earth each connected to a separate block.
From the ceiling I have:
3 black neutrals joined in one block with the neutral from the light fitting.
3 earth joined in block with the earth from the light fitting.
One black wire with red sheath (presumably switched live) in a block with the live from the light fitting.
There are then 3 red live wires coming from the ceiling, taped together and not connected to anything?
Firstly is this normal?
Secondly, to connect to my new light fitting so I connect as it is and then with the 3 red live wires from the ceiling just put them in a Wago terminal block or something, rather than leaving them taped?
I’ve attached some photos. The light fitting is the existing one, not the new one.
Thank you
Jay
