I have bought a new ceiling light for my wifes latest project, an Art
Deco living room ! On removing the existing fitting I found that there
are only two cables both of which are coloured red!
As the new fitting has a step down transformer I assume it will be
necessary to wire it correctly i.e. Live to live and neutral to neutral
and somehow fit an earth (the two red cables are contained in an iron
tube conduit).
How do I find out which is live and which is neutral without any test
equipment??

I'd say you should get a book on basic theory and read it before
attempting any electrical work.
