My brother made an attempt to change his lights but could not complete the job and has now left it to me. The cables were left hanging bare without identificatio so I had to make heads and tails of it.
This is the situation,
There are two ceiling rose in the lounge. The first one has 4 sets of cable, three twin and Earths and one Four core cable.
The second rose has one four core, and a twin and Earth.
Both lights operate from their own one way two gang switch.
The 4 core runs from one rose to the other. Now on the first rose I have tested to see which cable is the main feed, and also the switch. That leaves one twin/earth and a 4core which runs to the second.
I have wired the new lights but only to the affect that they both turn on at the same time, leaving the other switch redunant?
There is no fan in the connected that would need a 4core?
My question is what is the purpose of the 4 core and how can I terminate it to its origonal state??
Please help.
