Help! Where do the extra wires go?
Posted: Mon May 03, 2010 3:23 pm
Hello. I want to replace an existing light. I have 2 cables coming through the ceiling one of which has an earth, live (brown) and neutral (blue) wire. The other has an earth, live (red) and neutral (black with a small length of red sleeve over it).
I have just bougt a new light fitting and have opened up the rose to find there is a terminal block (3 spaces) for the neutral and live wires of the existing cables to connect to but there is only one other space for any other wire to go into.
Where do the other wires go? Any ideas will be much appreciated.
