[QUOTE="paul d brown, post: 391731, member: 26175"] Hi all. I have installed a new ceiling light today but it will not go off when i use the switch. When i removed the old light i was faced with 3 blue wires 4 brown wires and 4 yel/green wires. The new light had one of each. So i used a connection block to attach the 3 wires on new light to the corrresponding colours that were sticking out of ceiling. Bit of a tight squeeze but got there. I turned power at junction box back on and the new light went on but it wont go off using wall switch. What have i done wrong ? I just need to know what colour goes where and i will always turn house power off each time i go near the wires. Hat off to all electricians ! [/QUOTE]
