Apologies for the possible stupidity of this question. I think i may gave posted this in the wrong forum earlier.
I've just moved house and thought I'd put up a wall light in the porch. There was a light there but I don't know if it ever worked.
There are three cables:
Cable A: has live (brown), neutral (blue) and earth wires. I tested this cable with a circuit tester and this is live.
Cable B: has live, neutral and earth wires. The circuit tester doesn't show a response for this.
Cable C: has a live and earth wire. No neutral wire.
I tried connecting the wires from Cable A to the respective wires in the new lamp. I have a lamp that's permanently on.
If I try any wiring the lamp to Cable B then nothing happens.
Any hints for what I try next are welcomed and appreciated. Many thanks
