[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 503704, member: 250"] The left hand red wago is a Four terminal mini push-fit wago.. which if you look closely actually has 3x black & 1 x blue conductor. (count the copper wires in the clear bit of the wagao) I think there are 3x Blacks and 3x Reds and a single red.. I don't think it is a black sleeved red from that photo? The Op mentioned that the light can be switched from two switches.. I think there are three looped supply cables perm live & neutral.. (3x T&E) Plus one single red.. bringing the switched live from the 2-way switching. in which case... one of the neutral screw terminals on the rose with have to have 2x blacks doubled up into it as there are Four neutral conductors in the picture. Noob2020 you say you have a few lights to swap back to pendants.. Please note different lights in the same property may be wired in different configurations... You have to have a supply from the fuse box, a cable to one, (or more), switch(es), A supply carrying onto the next light in the circuit.. and the supplies may be looped at the light, the switch, or a hidden junction box etc.. So some lights may only have a single cable with L,N & E.. others could have several cables.. If in any doubt it may be cheaper & quicker just to employ someone to swap the lights.. As if you get it wrong you could end up with either fuses blowing or several rooms having no power if an earlier switch is off.. Guinness [/QUOTE]
