Hi thanks for reading. Today i have bought a light which has an earth wire in the middle live on the right and neutral on the left, thats on the white connector box thingy at the light itself.

When i took the old light off its was very similare leaving a two blacks into the left neutral an earth and one red, however i later found two reds togwether taped up. i put my new light in the same config and no power or worky!

since have realised that there is three seperate grey wires each displaying red, black, and the earth is split between them all it would seem.

tried all sorts of combinations and still no worky.

Please can anyone help.

Can i suggest you contact an electrician to fit the light for you

Normally you have a Live in / out and switch live together....( Reds ) a neutral in / out ( Blacks ) and you should have a switch live return...in your case probably a black wire but might have some tape on to indicate its Live ...this is assuming you are looping in / out with the mains ? and its not the last light. The problem most people make is the switch return as its normally the same colour as neutral but its actually live. You would wire the new light to this switch wire and neutral and connect the earth according....probably as clear as mud ! but hope you can understand what I am saying ?
