Hi Everyone

I currently have a wall light installed which is a double light, I want to replace it with a single bulb light.

When I have taken the original lights down there are 2 live, 2 neutral and 2 earth (1 of each wired into each side)


Is it possible to combine to wires (2 of each) into the single light or do I need to remove the wires that aren't required?
 
the 2nd cable will be to feed the next light, or it will be a switch wire. rewire the new light same as the old one.
 
the simple answer is that if you are competent to do it, go ahead. if not, call in a sparks. basically it has 3 choices:

1. it works. move on.

2. it don't work... cal a sparks.

3. it goes bang... see answer to 2.
 
Or the potential 4th and 5th

Have a nice day now :)
