[QUOTE="richkempo, post: 440558, member: 28691"] Hello! I started out very confident that I could sort this, but failed. I did take a picture beforehand but I've now managed to lose/delete it - not very helpful! I have two separate ceiling lights in my living room, one double switch by the front door which control the living room and the stairs lights, and one further single switch at the other end of the living room which only controls the living room light. The light closet to the front door was very straight forward, it just had one grey cable with 1 x black, 1 x red, 1 x earth cable. The second light fitting has four grey cables. Three seem to have the usual 1 x black 1 x red 1 x earth cables within, but one only has one red cable. In the current setup (see picture in link below), the rest of the lights in the house work, but I cant seem to get the two living room lights to work. Any idea on how I wire it so that it works again? My new light fittings are new with Live, Neutral, and earth connections and the old lights were the old fashioned ceiling roses. Any help, greatly appreciated. Cheers. [IMG]https://talk.electricianforum.co.uk/uploads/imageproxy/0a1e064474.jpg.722311dc5c412150056d29f7b75aa357.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
