I'm replacing a flood light with a new one.
When I took off the back of the new light for wiring I noticed that the fourth terminal to the right has a red wire at the top and a white one beneath it. See photo
That has confused me a little as the old lamp had the black wire going into the terminals where the two white wires are connected.

What I would like to know is where does the extra spare black from my supply go, its the one shown in the photo which is not yet connected ?

The first and second photos shows the previous arrangement where the black wire goes into the block shared by the two white wires.

The set up is that two flood lights come on together regardless of which sensor picks up first. They can both also be switched on and off from the inside via a switch as well.

Thanks

No need to excite yourselves, I asked a simple question with very poor results.

If someone can answer fair enough if not please don't give me a lecture about the rights and wrongs. I did not ask for that part of the works

Blimey you don't give up do you. Oh well, nowt on telly.

You ride in on a sleigh with a bold [sic] tyre asking for directions to Lapland. By post #2 I've drawn attention to the tyre problem and by post #4 I've answered the question without endorsing sledding on the bold [sic] tyre. Poor eh?

BTW regards to Rudolf, tell him I want the Voltstick back.
