Hiya,
I've just fitted a kitchen light fitting and went from a ceiling rose with many connections to something with just a live, neutral and earth.
I took the three brown wires that were together (labelled loop in the old fitting) and joined them all together in a connector block - I think thats so far, so good... Next I took the two blue wires that were together (labelled neutral in the old fitting) and joined those together in a connector. In addition to those there was an extra blue wire and an extra brown wire which were in terminals on their own that went directly to the connectors adjoining the bulb socket itself.... these I've put into the L and N terminals on the new light.
The light itself works, and is the first light on the loop as it's right next to the CU - none of the other lights on the loop are working.
I have a feeling the browns are all correct (and the earths obviously lol)..... I have a feeling that the two blues need combined with the other blue that I've put into the neutral terminal. Does that sound right? Three blues together?
Incidentally, this light has two independent switches.
I've not blown any fuses up, or myself Going from this info, does anyone know what I might need to do next to get my other lights back on? Do I just need to have all three blues together?
