nearly there!
both reds from the red/black and one red from the twin redall into ONE connector. NOW FORGET THIS CONNECTOR. OTHER RED FROM TWIN RED ONTO THE BROWN TO THE FITTING AND THE 2 BLACKS TO THE BLUE OF THE FITTING. Job done?
On 24 Dec 2005 06:36:13 -0800,it is alleged that "mikeyw" spake thusly in uk.d-i-y:
Pretty close, no it doesn't matter *how* they go in (provided it's safe, but what is important is that one of the strands and ONE only be from the red/red cable)
Thanks guys - most of you did suggest the correct answer I probbly struggled to follow what you were getting at.
The thing that threw me was requiring a separate connector for the three reds - once I got my head around this it all fell into place.
You're right not the sort of thing to mess around with unless you are knowledgeable in electrics but i'd have had to pay an electrician probably =A340 just to put the fitting up.
Big thank for all your help everything working fine now.

I expect it's actually spurred off a ring final circuit :-)

You probably replaced a standard ceiling rose which actually has *4* connectors (L-N-switch-E) with a decorative fitting which only has L-N-E.

No its a spur box and a 13 amp socket off the ring main :-)
