No problem, a top tip would be to take a photo of any wiring before you start taking anything apart. That way, you can see if anything is wrong and give you something to reference.

excellent video..I have just had to pay £60 for an electrician to put in a new light because all the wires went everywhere. You have shown very easily where I went wrong.

Great video mate. However, do you not need to put the connector blocks in a maintainable free box such as a wago box if its going in the ceiling or flooring?
@FixitwithFowler
Ай бұрын
Yeah, if you push them into the ceiling void that is inaccessible, but if there is space in the light fitting, then they can stay there without any box.

Put all the earth's (green and yellow) together into a connector, but don't connect them to the new light. The new light fitting is double insulated and does not require an earth! Hope that helps you?
