Wiring a 2 wire ceiling rose to a pendant light

[Jamiecook]

Hi there,

Wonder if anyone can help. Hoping it's a simple one!

I'm looking to replace light with new pendants, which are the same switch. One is easy, as there is a single wire, however the second rose has 2 wires.

Problem is - the new pendant roses only have connectors to support a single wire. Any ideas how to wire this one? I've enclosed a picture of bot the existing 2 wire rose and new pendant fitting rose for reference.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Pretty sure those terminals will accommodate two wires.

Isolate thelighting circuit at the fuse box (CU) CONNECT BOTH RED WIRES into the center block take 1 blue cable out and connect it to where you have removed the red wires from.
Switch the circuit back on should be OK let us know how you get on please.

Make sure the earth's are tight in terminals
Some times those block connectors are only made for one conductor.

That ceiling rose is going and switching loops are at the switch.

Haha, okay - confused now.

Do the 2 brown wires from the rose go into the terminal with the brown wire on the pendant? likewise the two blue from the rose go into the terminal with the blue on the other side?

 

[westward10]

Yes and the earths into the middle terminal.
