Bedroom had two light switches. One by the door and a pull cord by the bed.

I've taken out the wires attached to the pull cord one and obviously now the light doesn't switch work. I only want the switch by the door.

Inside was 3 red and a double earth (accached pictures).

How do I wire it in the junction?

Thank a lot guys.

Why does everyone think electrics is so easy and when a simple job goes wrong they want free advice. Getting qualified wasn't free ya know
Made me smile and reminded me of several late Saturday afternoon calls Ive had usually from family. Goes something like this. "Went shopping this morning with the wife and bought a new light fitting for the main room. Simple job so I put it up myself." Yeah, then what? "Well I connected all the reds together and all the blacks together (old colour days) because I know you cant mix 'em, switched the electric back on and it seemed all right, then I switched the light switch on and it went bang." Quick shout to my partner, won't be long and off I go. Always good for your street cred though.;)
