So where is the third live for the "loop" - you need a permanent live to the switch as well, but i can only see three reds in total, one of which doesn't go anywhere!Hi nick I'm a sparky..two lives together are live loops keep them in a connector separate as they keep your feed other lights...the single red is a switch wire which connects to live in your new light..blacks in same connector connect to the neutral N on new fitting and earth wires to earth terminal on fitting...you should have green and yellow sleeving over bare earth wires. Obviously turn circuit breaker off before doing anything ..obviously that's just going on what I can see and you can never be sure without checking it out for myself but that would be a standard wiring situation at a light..hope this helps..regards lee
You might need to narrow it down a bit ...!I have been checking who is saying what and who I have insulted before.
Sorry, I'm not trying to keep it like an X Factor winner reveal.
Haven't had chance to play about with it yet.

Or the audible ones, which are very useful if you're visually-impaired !Unless you are proficient with A multi meter I would get one of these pens that you just touch the insolation and it will light up if live - much simpler and less chance of not being right

Why would you be fucking around with fiddly electrics if you're visually impaired?
2.50 for screwdrivers.How much did the electrician charge you ?
Tttttut.2.50 for screwdrivers.
Stick a brown collar around the switched live feed for future reference. Or a bit of brown tape. Something to identify it. Electrical compliance and all that !
What are the odds on Nick elecricuting himself and ending up another covid19 victim?
I can see a new career ahead!I've completed it, now fitted a dimmer switch too.
Fully qualified electrical, next week I will be up a cherry picker fixing the cables on pilons.
