What wires connect to what

[JasonHels]

Hi all, first off I'm not an electricain

OK, I took down a ceiling rose from my kids room to put a new one up. I stupidly didn't make a note of teh wires but after some investigation have identified the following. I have 3 pairs coming from the ceiling. Each wire has a red\black and earth. I now know which is the live to the fuse box. Which one goes to teh switch and which is the loop to upstairs.

My understanding is that all 3 reds go together and all the earths go together but i do not know what to do with the 3 black wires. In my lamp i have a blue and brown wire. Do all the black ones go together or just 2 of them and to what color in the lamp?

Any help much appreciated.

Jason

there was a thread a while ago about not giving advice to diyers as if it goes wrong you could be liable,not one person giving advise here has mentioned the fact proving the circuit is dead,and proved that with a meter and proving unit and proving you understand how to use them, as we all do! so they say.. the op could be working live for all we know,he wont be tho because he says he isnt..and for all the live.switch wire nuetrals going wherever thats means nothing to an untrained eye..its either a forum for sparks talking shop or a forum for diyers to get detailed advise while not understanding the detail,a short disclaimer in your sig isnt going to save anyone when the diyer is lying on the floor dead because hes followed your reply word for word..just my opinion ..

Quality rant, I got lost 2/3rds through.

I think the OP has posted at least twice, so hopefully he's not a charred wreck.

If they don't come and ask here they'll go on diy,screwfix,etc....dotcom and get some real advice.
At least they'll get some professional words of of wisdom on here.

If you don't like it, ignore it.
