Help wiring light fittings

[Leesparkykent]

So the Mrs went out today and brought two new light fittings...I called my electrician to put them up but unfortunately he died on the way round....Being the hero I am, I thought I'll put them up myself. I mean how Hard can it be? It's not like you need much intelligence to be an electrician...maybe just a tad more clever than a general labourer! I'm not really interested in paying one of you clowns to come and sort it out, so could one of you tell me what wire goes where? Possibly pretty sharpish before the Mrs gets home.

After mulling this over in the pub...
I recommend connecting one fitting to each of the two cables to see which one is the incoming feed and which is the switch drop, then connecting the cables appropriately, asking anyone who has received chocolates for Christmas for the box, and making the connections to one luminaire within said item and SHOVING IT UP THE HOLE in the ceiling, and fixing said luminaire to the ceiling, leaving the other free to PUT UP YOURSELF.

I agree...only a couple of wires ain't it. A buffoon could do it.

Ha - reminds me of when I started on the diggers : chuckling away the Trusted Advisor said "how hard can it be Wilko, its just 2 little sticks ..."
