[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 391733, member: 6969"] Boy oh boy do people never learn. Some of your wires will have been linked together. What you should have done is made a note of HOW it was wired to the old one. The trouble is there are several ways of wiring lighting circuits so there is no simple "this wire to that" solution without knowing more. What was the old fitting, a standard ceiling rose? Were some of the brown wires linked together in the middle terminal of the ceiling rose for instance? To try and help you, tell us what CABLES you have, not "wires" I.e you might have three cables each with a blue brown and earth for instance. And if any of the blue or brown wires also have a bit of tape or sleeving on them? [/QUOTE]
