Hello,
disclaimer: this is DIY and I am rather ignorant about electrical works.
I just moved into a new rental apartment and i wanted to connect lamps on the ceiling. Most come out with just 2 wires and so it's easy even for me to connect a lightbulb connector.
But in the living room there are more than 2 wires:
1st purple wire
2nd purple wire
Ground wire (green-yellow) just passing by, no visible ends
3 yellow wires joined into a block, One yellow end comes out of the block.
I measured voltage:
1st purple wire to yellow: 234 acV (i connected the light to these two and it works)
2nd purple wire to yellow: 1.2 acV
1st purple wire to 2nd purple wire: 8 acV
I cant't make sense of what I measured, and what the second purple wire is there for.
Thanks for helping, I suppose this is a very trivial question but I hope someone will still help
