Just want to doublecheck that I've got this right. My ceiling wiring has:
1 green earth wire
1 red live wire
2 black neutral wires in the same sheath, but they were both screwed into the same hole in the plastic block
The plastic block then fed five bulbs in the old light fitting.
I've been getting confused with reading about switch/loop circuits, but if the above is correct there is no switching wire and I just wire the live and earth into the relevant screwholes of the new pendant fitting, and then both the neutral wires into the same neutral screwhole of the pendant fitting?
Why would the neutral have two wires in it if they were both wired together?
