Ceiling Light Wiring

[MHambly]

Hi Guys, Was wondering if you could help me out regarding identifying the neutral and live for this ceiling light. I am going to cut the transparent flex so it will hang to the length I want but there is no 'red' or 'blue' colouring on the inner conductors. Would appreciate any advice on how to identify which one is which

. thanks!

Jesus 'effin Christ, it's 2 wires to a lampholder.....it's not brain surgery even with limited electrical knowledge, certainly not 'electrician required' . OP use a cheap multimeter on buzz setting to ID which wire is which. You can buy one for less than the price of a breakfast.

Personally is feel that any op who isn’t going to perform even basic testing for safety should expect “one of those threads” if I’m being honest.

Bah humbug

You could say the same for any new class1 appliance, what tests do we do before plugging it in to ensure it should function in the event of a fault. Albeit this luminaire requires a bit of meddling, the practise is the same.
