How to wire IKEA light pendant

[Gavin John Hyde]

Get a couple of these a month. With many ikea lights you can fit the cowling or base over the existing rose. Makes for an easy life.
Either way, time to call an electrician

I’d blame IKEA. Never understood why people travel miles to get to one of their stores.

Just bought two of their wardrobes to link together along a 3m span of wall, took me a whole weekend to put the thing together. But was really impressed with the quality of the whole package, went together really well,looks great and solid as a rock.

@Barnaby Stedman , be careful buddy, this may constitute "step by step" instructions, which the form disallows.

I assume that if a memebr of this forum gives 'step by step' technical advice to a person who is not competent then the forum owners might be held responsible for any problems that would occur if the non-competent person attempted the work and then suffered electrocution, injury and or damage to property as a result?

Oh yes.
Someone recently resurrected a thread from 2012 where I had given step by step instructions on how to work out which black wire is the switched live without testing equipment.
