Hi,
I was about to replace a what I imagined was a simple light fitting (done it many times before) obviously expected L N E wiring, instead on undoing the old fitting I found a total of 3 cables each with a red and black (live and neutral?)
all three red wires go into a connection on the old light fitting, 2 black cables go into a connection and a single black cable goes into a connection.
Unfortunately the fitting does not mark LNE so I find myself completely lost. I obviously assume that red is live but unsure of what is neutral and what is earth. Is this a standard arrangement (it is wiring from a 1980's extension) and can anyone give me an explanation of what to do now and how to identify the cables!
Many Thanks
