OK so I screwed up!
Went to replace my daughters ceiling fitment (old one yellow and paint spattered) expecting to detach the lamp, remove the old cable, attach the new cable and screw the rose into the existing ceiling fitment.
Good plan which failed miserably when the new rose failed to screw onto the old ceiling fitment. OK so I took a photo (turned out badly - out of focus) of the existing wiring; removed the old ceiling fitment, attached the new. redid the wires (3 cables 6 wires, 3 earth wires) and got it wrong.
Most of the light switches in the flat are all screwed up in that they activate other fittings!.
I plan to trace the wires to the switch (so at least I get those right) and hopefully the rest follow a standard ring main diagram. Is this the best I can do to unscramble this mess?
Thanks for any help
