Hi, we are at desperation point having spent most of last night wiring and rewiring the kitchen light fitting...
We did have a Fluor tube fitment which we took down - as the switch cables were not tagged we checked behind the 2 wall switches and have deduced the switch cables only have a Live(red) and Earth(G/Y) cable each!
We also have a further 3 cables each with a Live?(red), earth(G/Y) and a neutral(black).
We connected all G/Y together - the is no earth terminal in new fitting
We connected all Black toegther - and joined to neutral terminal
We connected 3 red from bigger cables together - joined to live terminal
We connected 2 red from switch cables together
Lights worked!!! But switches didn't!!! So...
We connected the 2 red switch cables to live terminal also...
Lights worked!!! Still not switch action!!!
Also tried switch lives connected to terminal and other lives just connected to each other... NO LIGHTS!
Can you please help? Where do we go from here? as it appears switch cables have no black wires in?
Suggestions greatly welcomed, Many thanks
Natalie
