Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
Just changed a security light at home. Old one, the sensor was gone no was tripping the house fuses. Anyway. The cable to the light is four core. And all cables were connected to the light block. They are Red, blue, yellow, and an earth sleeve placed over the earth cable.
Now the new security light from screwfix is idiot proof not Tash proof. I have coupled up as follows. Red/live to live, blue/ neutral to neutral. And I have put the yellow and green sleeve earth into earth. The other end of the three gang block is just pins so as soon as you put the light plate onto the back plate which is screwed onto the wall Hey presto. The light works a treat.
However, the security light is connected to three other lights on the patio and they now do not come on. So what do I do with the fourth/yellow cable that I have taped up and is now redundant. How do I get the security and three lights to come on together.
No fuses have tripped in the house, and the security light is on a switch fused socket so turning that off turns off power to that unit.
Cheers me dears.
