Hi all,
apologies for asking what seems like the same question again, but I've looked in the for reference section and come away more confused than enlightened.
Just trying to replace an old light fitting with a new one. I've uncovered the ceiling rose (well, dug it out of the hundred layers of paint and paper might be more accurate), but inside I've got three wires coming down. A single red wire, then two with two wires in, one black and one green in each. Trying to figure out what each does.
So the red is live, and goes to the live on the light fitting. The two black and green pairs are the loop I take it?
So then to connect to a normal L N E box the live goes in L (I'm good at this), then what happens with the green and black ones?
I took a photo, if you can see the details past all the muck that fell out of the ceiling! There was a plastic guard thing holding all three connectors in place, they read from left to right live, loop and neutral.

Thanks for any help,
Cheers,
Si
