Hi there,
I'm after some help regarding the wiring of 2 wall lights taking power from an existing ceiling rose, controlled by a double switch.
I had a lecky come and sort some wiring for me but unfortunately he's done a Houdini, he was cheap!
The existing rose powered an old fan/light combo, the 2 cables outside of the rose go to the walls lights I assume? How do I go about wiring them together to put power to wall? The rose has a light attached to it currently which works off one of the switches.
This is the first wall light position. I have no idea what's going on here, how do I wire a light into this?
This is the last wall light position. The white cable is still currently fully sheathed. Is it as simple as putting the white cable into the correct positions on the block with the grey cable and wiring the light into the other side?
When all is wired in, I want the ceiling on one switch and the wall on the other. Any help is greatly appreciated as getting a professional in this close to xmas isn't a viable option for me. I am a competent DIY-er and mechanical engineer by trade so I do have some transferrable hand skills, and I'm not a complete numpty like my wife thinks!
