existing light (four wires) into new Led light

[danq39]

Hi

I've got three lights in my hallway that I'm changing to a LED light fitting - they are all controlled by two separate switches. I've done two, but I'm stuck on the third one. The first light had one of each earth, L & N, and the second light had two of each (which I've squeezed in the connector block) but as you can see the last one, there's a lot more going on! is it a fairly easy job or do I need to call someone in for it?



Cheers!

It’s called “loop in” or “3 plate” wiring.

The middle browns are permanently live…. Don’t do anything without isolating the circuit.

Thanks! All isolated.. will I need a junction box to get them into the new fitting? There's not a great deal of space..

But with an added twist. It looks like there's a second light (or more) controlled by the same switch. This is probably the brown sleeved brown wire and whatever blue and bare cpc goes into the same cable.

Yes.. there are three lights in the hallway and two switches to control them!

In that case, it could have been far worse. The strappers for the two way switching could have been brought into the rose as well, which would have been four extra wires to join, plus an extra cpc.

What would you say is the best way to go about things?
