Wiring a light fitting.

Posted by charles Pinkney, on Sat 29 Aug 2015 05:09pm

My new spot light fitting has connections for L.N.E The wires from the ceiling are- 1 double core with - 2 red, 2 black and 2 connected earths. 1 single core with - 1 red, 1 black (with red sleeve) and 1 earth. Can you tell me where these go in the light fitting connections? Thanks very much !

Hi Charles The 2 blacks will go into the N Connector. All 3 Reds go into a connector seperate as that is the Live Loop. The Earths go into the E connector. The Black with Red Sleave is the switch wire which goes into the L connector on your fitting. Make sure the Lighting circuit is off before starting work.Have fun. Thanks Russ
