Pendant light wiring help

[Martyn Smythe]

After removing an old pendant light fixture and removing the rose, I am hoping to get some guidance on the below wiring.

I appear to have three cables:

1) Brown, Blue, Yellow
2) Brown, Yellow
3) Blue

I've done some digging online, but have been unable to find an explanation for how this should be wired to the rose.

Some additional details. There are two pendant lights using one switch. I believe the other pendant light is a slave of the one in the picture.

Once you've ripped it apart like that probably only an electrician with appropriate test gear, (and knowledge), can restore it.
If you have a photo of it before dismantling then maybe we could advise you.
Also, I think those "Yellows" are actually green/yellow earth wires and should be connected together to ensure other parts of your house have earthing.

Show a pic of the other one you haven't pulled apart but as above there may be little we can tell you.

you didn't need to do much digging online to find out how it should be wired, all you needed to do was make a note of how it was before you ripped it down. you'll now need some test kit ad knowledge of how to use them and electrics to find out what wire goes where

My guess is the two browns together plus the brown for the new pendant, two blues together plus the blue from the new pendant, all the green & yellows together plus the green and yellow for the new pendant (if any).

Is it an optic illusion or is the left hand cable a single ?

Single blue, single brown and earth and a twin and earth is what I believe is there.

I didn't think they still made 'just singles' I thought they all came with a CPC. Everyday is a school day

Singles available in all the size's, used exclusively in Europe, no T&E used, all conductors must be of the same c/c and double insulated, Ireland do have a T&E that complies.

Singles available here as well for use in conduit.

Probably wired in singles and earth, so brown singles and earth switchwire, blue last on circuit from previous rooms and twin and earth to the next down light.
