Thanks for the response, I guess you confirmed my thoughts - it was bought at B&Q so probably ok, however I am not taking chances so will go for a replace.
thanks again
I am trying to add a light to a ceiling fan. The fan has two 'spare' wires - black and red - available for such a project, however the light I am trying to add to it has a black and a white wire, as well as the earth of course. Do I connect the black to black and the red to white? Or do I throw ever...
