Hi all!
Trying to fit two new lights in my living room,opened up the old rose to find 3 red and 2 black wires, 1 double switch operates both lights.
The wiring instructions say that this product must be earthed,which one is the earth?
THANK YOU!!!

U SHOULD HAVE A BARE COPPER WIRE IN BETWEEN THE
COLOURED CORE S OF YOUR CABLES.
OR R YOUR CABLES SINGLE CABLES ?

IF U HAVE NO EARTH THEN IT IS POSSIBLE YOUR INSTALLATION NEEDS REWIRING.
