I was trying to replace the light fitting in one of the bedrooms today to a MK Shockguard pendant fitting. When aI remove unscrewed the exisiting pendant fitting I discovered that there were three twin and earth cables. The black from two of the cables were connected to the Neutral of the light fitting. However, the black from other T&E was wired to the Live. The red wires from all three cables were wired to a connector block wrapped in electrical insulation tape.
Why has the black been used as Live? Is this cause for concern? Should I just go ahead and fit the new fitting or should I get an electrican to take a look at our wiring?
Many thanks!
