[QUOTE="Lynn Robson, post: 548336, member: 37296"] Each of the pairs of twisted wire were attached to a single light socket. There were 3 sockets on the fixture. Naturally each of the twisted pairs had one blue wire to one side of the socket input, and a brown wire to the other connector with a common earth to the main fixture metalwork. I've thought this through while laid in bed with the light disconnected and it seems to me that if I take the wires above the tape independently so that I slot the black wires both into the hole on the new fixture with the Blue input, then a single yellow wire into the hole with the brown input that leaves the centre hole for earth. It seems to fit my understanding that on a 3 slot connection there's a live and neutral at each end and earth in the middle. [/QUOTE]
