Is that black in the same cable as the red that goes to the brown?

 

[westward10]

The middle terminal screw is not tightened at the two reds.

Has someone been doing a little bit of home/correction/DIY work?

Same cable as red to brown

Not that i know light stopped working then started working again took cover off rose wire was out

The downstairs lights that the rose is conected to are both working the landing light upstairs isnt would the black wire be part of the ring to that light

It is connected somewhat unconventional but if it is the same cable it goes with the two reds, tighten all of the screws.

It looks like Red L, Black SL reversed but if other lights are affected neutral may have been broken......someone's had a go by the looks. It needs investigation IMO, the twin and earths may not be correctly identified.

That red almost certainly went in the middle originally. I suspect if other lights are affected it is the screw lose at the loop.

I agree, originally. It's been altered. It's not done that via AI.

Thank you
