Outside light mystery

No and no

Hi SpinLondon,
Sorry to be slow, what colour wires from which the switch feed go where? The red into the live terminal on the light and the blue goes...where?

Sorry, forum rules don’t allow me to tell you which wire terminates where.

Oh okay, that makes sense. Thank you anyway! I think my sister has just sent a diagram which matched your explanation.

red to red, yellow to yellow, blue to bits. .

No, Oakhill Somerset, but thank you

You can only assume red is P/L yellow is SW and blue is neutral but without some basic test equipment, it would be only an assumption.

This time,
Get a local spark in, it should take him 10 min from start do finish.
Next time,
Take a picture or make notes of what goes where BEFORE you take down the old light.

Yep. Assume or presume?......stick a pin in it, either way.

red to red, yellow to yellow, blue to bits. .

I do love these, "I've connected the new light exactly the same as the old and it worked before....."

That's why I asked if the existing was a PIR light that had a permanent live and neutral and the yellow S/L in a terminal block also some photo's would have helped.
