i had disconnected all cables from a ceiling rose for putting up a new light,but unfortunately didnt mark what was connecting what,now im trying to reconnect the ceiling rose back,i have 4 main cables coming out from ceiling each have brown,blue,yellow/green cables and also 1 single brown and blue cable their own,could anybody please give me some advice how to connect the ceiling rose back,thanks.
How do i connect a ceiling rose to mass of cables?
first switch off mains.
red wires x 3 go together in loop
green/yellow x 3 go to earth terminal.
neutral is black x2 blue x1
switch=brown x1
as you have mixed up the wires , it may be better to get a electrician to do the job.
there are 3 black wires
2 blacks are neutral 1 =switch which one ?
Reply:you need to find out ,what is the hot one , this is the one that provide the power, to the light, the other is the switch , the green/ yellow is the ground, prevents shocks ,
one could be a ceiling fan, wire, poss the blue one . runs the fan.
all lights run off just two wires, the rest is for your switch
i would use a old light fitting, to see what brings o nthe light . that way, you will know what is hot .
on your old light fitting, you maybe have some old wires, maybe a black or brown , perhaps this maybe the way to go , just takes time to work out
