[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 452291, member: 6969"] I have said it before, I am not a fan of non contact voltage indicator sticks. They have their uses, but testing for dead is not one of them. What the OP needs to do is locate which pair goes to the switch. With THE POWER OFF AND VERIFIED AS DEAD, test between each black and it's coresponding red until you find one reading very close to zero ohms. If none are close to zero, flick the light switch to the other position, and try again. Once you have found the light switch pair, confirm this buy turning the light switch on and off and confirm the reading goes from zero ohms to infinity. then mark the black from that pair with red tape or preferably red sleeving. Then you can connect the ceiling rose correctly. +1 to quality test gear, I have two different Fluke meters I use for this sort of job, I would not trust anything else. [/QUOTE]
