new ceiling light
Got fed up with the poor lighting in this room. It had a pendant light with a lampshade over it. So today decided to modernise.
First thing was to switch off in the fuse box the downstairs lighting circuit and the light switch. Checking with a tested all was dead/
So down with the old light and undid the ceiling rose only to find 3 cables when there should really only be one/ heavens knows but suspect used as a junction box as well.
without disturbing the wires too much I broke the plastic base and that left the terminal strips free.
as usually the wires were to short so having spare cable in the garage stripped that back and got the length I needed and conneceted to the terminal block
Out with the tester again to check we had power before was offering up the new light fittingthen everthing off yet again.
eventually it is up and working
Being muli directional may not have got them as I want exactly yet, but they work and a lot brighter as well
