Is that in a bathroom - is the fitting suitable for the environment?

Well ............ i wouldn't like to hear that the OP fitted the light and then hurt himself ........... then blames the forum for not telling him to check the suitability of the light ....................

I thought the light was in zone 3.
It's the downstairs bathroom and in the few years I've been here I've only showered a couple of times in it, it's mainly used to was the dogs and guests can use it to 'off load '
Now I can wire it correctly I had better get a zone 2 light then I suppose. Better safe than sorry.

Lots of copper showing on the switchwire!

Still a mess! copper exposed on connections!

Maybe best to leave electrics to some one competent IMO.

Also how did you carry out safe isolation before you started "messing about" with this light fitting?

Can anyone advice me as to where I connect the wires from the single light into the new chrome light. On the chrome light there is a connector that has three openings but the old single has wires coming out of four different holes .On the chrome there is L E N.On the old one the 3 L get fed into one hole two black get fed into a hole and a single black gets fed into a hole. The E gets fed into a hole just above the rest of the wires (see photo )
