[QUOTE="johnb2713, post: 529867, member: 35153"] As I said, it's not the best of wiring installations there, not untypical though. I would suggest you use a terminal block to allow the connections to be made to a single cable to connect to the new unit. You could detach the existing terminal block from the old light, cut the wires and connect that into the new light assuming the old light is being scrapped. Alternatively get a new strip of connector block or Wago terminals. Please do take great care, power off, make sure a good earth connection is made to the new light. It may be worthwhile as Fleeting suggests getting a local Sparkie to sort it for you. [/QUOTE]
