There is no way a green and red wire should run a lamp. Green is a restricted colour and can only be used for earth in a very old system now we use green and yellow. I can't envisage anyone being able to help without visiting your house so I would say you will need to call an electrician. It may be that someone in the past has done some dangerous cheating so be very careful.
