(this is a followup to my post here //www.diynot.com/diy/threads/wiring-a-double-2-way-light-switch.441970/ - I've now decided to replace the whole outside light)
Complete novice here.
For starters - I've turned off all lights at the fusebox, and checked there's no current,
I'm replacing an outside PIR light. The old one had connectors for 3 wires - and the earth was disconnected and folded over. The new light only has connections for Live and Neutral. But the the neutral connection also has a black wire coming from it (the instructions don't mention it):
The cable coming out of the wall has 4 wires - grey (with blue sleeve), black (with brown sleeve), brown and yellow/green.
So...how do I wire it up? From the (very helpful) answers to my previous post, I'm thinking the black wire (with brown sleeve) is an override for the PIR.
And for any wires which aren't connected (eg the earth), what's the safest way to terminate them?
