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
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."

BTW, what's a div?





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

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

after rereading your post i realize you have an old three way system
somehow i missed the second cable are there two switches controling
this light? if so pull out both swithches look for common printed on
the switch newer switches have one screw that is differnt color (not
green) that is common. common wire is either your hot wire or the
swith leg so if yellow is common then it goes to black fixture wire
white to wghite fixture wire red to red ,black to blue but you need to
check those swithes
