Hi all

Sorry to sound such a div, but I've got a simple wiring problem. I'm
replacing a ceiling light. There are 2 cables coming out of the
ceiling, that originally went into a ceiling rose terminal block

I'm trying to picture what a "rose" terminal block looks like...I'm
guessing it's got terminal screws aranged around the periphery of a
circle maybe?
(I
didn't make a not of how this was wired!). One cable has four wires
(red, blue, yellow, and one "naked"). The other cable has red L,
black
N and green/yellow E.


I'm very confused.

What country are you in?

What do L, N, and E mean, in "red L, black N and green/yellow E."

I'm guessing they are "Line", "Neutral" and "Earth" (ground), so the
OP's probably not a "Born in the USA" guy.

BTW, what's a div?

Found it he

How do I connect these to the new light fittings, which has just 2
Live and Neutral connectors?

Two of EACH or just TWO? G
