[QUOTE="otterspocket, post: 400983, member: 26732"] I'm trying to rewire a ceiling rose, and I made the very silly mistake of not photographing or checking the initial wiring before I took the previous fitting down. I seem to have 7 wires coming in through 2 cables. I can't seem to find any information about what to do in this situation - every diagram I find is for more or less wires! The light point is on its own circuit, though I think the original installer may have thought there were multiple lights on the circuit. What should I be wiring to the Live & Neutral of the light (I know where Earth goes!)? Should any of the wires be looping (I think so?)? I can't seem to attach photos as I don't have enough posts, but cable A in the ceiling has blue, brown & yellow/green and cable B has black, brown & grey with brown tape. At the switch there is a brown wire and one that's grey with brown tape. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
