Hello Guys

I ve a serious problem... decided to change a lamp in my bedroom...so I got myself beutiful lamp from ikea and removing the old one when realized that this is all different...new lamp needs ground, live, neutral when old had nine wires connected together via funny socket..all I got now is 3 sets of wires sticking out from celing(3xred, 3xblack, 3xground) When they all seperate none of my lights dont work. CHecked with tester and only one red wire is live. If live wire connected with another lights are working fine... . None of this wires response to light switch... I mean pressing light switch makes no difference to wiring.. always only one red is live...
I really believe that someone must have aan answerr for that straight away apart from calling electrician as I simple cant afford him.
Thank You very much for Your time!

Power off ! The switch wires will be the ones that go low resistance when the switch is turned on and go open circuit when its off.

I did consider this but ended up going with this one. I wired it inline with the lives and works great.
