Hi there ?,
Apols in advance if this has been done to death?!!! (I know it has but I can't seem to fathom out a similar set-up having searched through this forum and others).
I have an old wiring system in my house and wanted to fit a new LED light in the downstairs loo. I have attached pics (x2) of the existing wiring:
(two gray cables each with; 1 x Red Wire, 1 x Black Wire and 1 x Bare Copper Wire). The other pic shows the inside of the new light connection block. The terminal connector block (or whatever the correct terminology may be, sorry) has three terminals; Live - Earth - Neutral). I've tried connecting up but it just trips the circuit so have disconnected it and wondered if you guys could help out please! Or will this set-up simply just not work i.e. LED dimmable light to old fashioned wiring???
Thanks in advance ???
