Light wiring problem

NOMAN · 2004-07-09T07:51:35+00:00

Hi.I have found myself slightly confused as to how to replace a light in my house and was hoping someone may be able to offer some advice. I have already removed the previous light, but was unable to check how it was wired (would you believe that the previous owner had plastered the wiring into the rose!).What I have now is 3 cables hanging down from the ceiling. 2 of these cables contain an insulated red wire, an insulated black wire and an uninsulated earth wire. The third cable contains only a red wire. The light is controlled by 2 switches at either end of the room. The light itself has an earth connection, a live connection and a neutral connection.I am completely lost as to how to connect this up - any advice anyone could offer me would be fantastic.Thanks for your time,NOMAN
