Hi,
I'm changing the light fitting in my bathroom, and I've discovered that there are two mains power cables running out of the ceiling feeding the existing fitting. The two cables run into a splitter unit (small plastic affair) and the three bulbs in the light fitting are individually powered from there.
I only need one of the cables to power the new light, and I'm at a loss to know what to do with the other one. I know that the correct thing to do would be to go into the floorspace of the loft conversion upstairs and remove the spare cable from the system, but for reasons I won't go into that won't be possible for a number of months.
Would I be able to bind the spare cables wires in insulating tape and kep them where they are out of the way as a short-term measure? If not, what would be another solution?
Thanks in advance,
Matt
