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

L=line (hot)
N=nuetral
E= ground
the wires red blue yellow seem odd
E would get the nekkid wire
i would guess yellow gets N
the red or blue to L
find your swith and look at the wires in there and see how its wired
and if that same red blue yellow wire originates there.
it sounds like it was wired for a fan lite unit, if that be the
caseyou could use either for your L.
