    3 browns. must be loop in system. (assume some lights are not working with fitting disconnected) one is live feed-one is loop feed-the last is the switch wire. note which one is live. switch on the "light" - one of the others should become live...this would be the switch wire to your fitting.The one left and the original live should join up together( assuming spark followed standard colour code). all lights should work as normal
    connect switch wire and both neutrals to fitting.- all should be tickettey-boo.
    BE SAFE> hope this helps.

    Hi,

    Does anyone know where I could buy contemporary light fittings for my Kitchen?
    I need ceiling mounted luminaires.
    Dublin area would be best.

    I tried a few places - ( not sure if I can name them here) but didnt find anything I liked.

    Thanks!
