Hi...

Hopefully someone can offer me some advice.

I bought some 240v 50hz 50w haligen spot lights to fit in my kitchen.
My intention was to put up a plasterboard ceiling with three spot
lights chained together sourced off the existing socket.

The ceiling is currently solid concrete and has one standard light
fitting in the middle. I disconnected the light fitting to find in
total nine wires. They a

Three live wires twisted together, put in a connector block, taped up
and pushed into the back box. i.e. not connected to the light.
Three Earth wires the same as the live above.
Two Neutral wires twisted together and connected to the light fitting
One Live wire connected to the light fitting.

Why so many cables ?, should I just connect the new lights to the same
wires as the existing one and forget about the others?

By the way the new lights do not need to be earthed.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Ian.
