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.

I can help you with that. Reds together, blacks together, cut off the green ones as it'll work without them so they are not needed.

Well the wiring looks like LSOH so you may not choke from the fumes when your house goes up in smoke because you couldn’t be bothered to call an electrician.

I don't mean any disrespect to the original poster, but if you want help here then you're going to have to be completely honest with us.

Your electrician didn't really die, did they?

I'm trying to be as delicate as I can, but might the truth actually be that they went on holiday?

If you can let us know, then we might be able to help, as this sort of technical information is really important to help you (sorry, us) solve your problem for you.

I'd keep the light wiring as it is... No light means no-one can see them curtains....

I suggest you go and hit the report button then bud! Could you not post on my thread anymore unless you're going to tell me how to wire it up.
