Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help. I am replacing 2 ceiling lights with low energy LED ones and I have a question on both as the wiring is different!!!
I have one light removed and there are 2 lives, 1 neutral and one earth. The new LED light (pic below) has simply 2 connectors into which I assume I put the 2 lives into one connector and the 1 neutral into the other. There is nowhere for the earth to go, so i was going to connect it to the metal bracket which I screw into the ceiling to hold up the light. Does this make sense?
I was hoping the second ceiling light would answer the question above, but it is even stranger (see pic) - earth, live and 3 x neutral. If the above solution is right, I have no way of connecting 3 neutral wires into one. Maybe I could break up the old light fitting and use the small connectors to reduce the neutral to one wire.
Any advice is very welcome, thanks!
