Hi their hope you can help with this issue identifying what i need, we are changing the lighting in our house so at the moment no lighting is up and bare wires are insulated. The colour wiring is the old red and black which is the old blue and brown. I’m in the process of changing the upstairs lights and starting in one of the rooms. However there is only the live side I’m confused with. Sorry for the bad photo so refer to diagram below to show you what’s up already.
The rose diagram shows 1 earth, 2 neutrals which is all we have up from the ceiling, and 4 live wires which we also have the correct amount. Looking at the way the wiring has been done in the house the room is directly opposite the landing and next to the upstairs bathroom. The bathroom light is up but won’t turn on which makes me believe that the room, bathroom and landing are all linked to the same circuit. Referring to the diagram three of the lives go into the loop connector and one of the live is left over which i would of thought goes into the live terminal however the diagram shows it as a neutral from the light switch.
As i don’t have any testing equipment except a standard multimeter what harm would it do if i put the third remaining live into the live terminal? If no issues but light still doesn’t switch on will any issues occur if i was to swap each live over until it controls the light?
Many thanks
