5 core cable to Garden Light

Hoppo2010 · 2010-03-26 10:53:30

I am connecting a garden light to a light switch. The cable is a 5 core armoured cable - earth - blue - brown - grey and black. The light has a live neutral and earth on the connection terminal. What do I do with the black and grey cable? Thanks

Just cut them short or bend them back on both ends, they might come in handy at some stage if you want to add in extra switching facilities later on.
