I have no formal electrial qualifications, picked up bits and pieces as I have gone along.
I damaged my bathroom celing light, when I took out the 2D lamp, so I have had to replace it - and all is working.
However, the live wiring confused me. There were 4 permanent lives, linked together, as well as the swicth live. I am just wondering why there were 4 permanent lives, when i was expecting 3. The live from the previous light fitting, the live to the next light fitting and the live to the switch.
Neutral and Earth had 3, so just wondering where the 4th live wire came from.
Thanks if anyone can answer this.
