Hi, I'm new here and fairly new to diy electrics, however I am reasonably competent and I tend to ask 300 questions or read a lot before I actually start anything.
I now fully understand why there may be one, two or three 3core cables coming into a light fitting, and have changed some at home already......... but the other day I took my daughters bedoom light down (it's an old green 3 lamp spotlight on a single plate, and it scares her)wanted to put up a single pendant with shade..... when I opened it up, there were 4 cables coming in and they were wired all over the shop.
I can't go up in the loft to sort it out yet as we have a wasps nest and I'm waiting for them to die.
Can anyone tell me why there might be 4 cables coming in (is it possible the moron who lived there before has spurred off to the loft light or something..... is that actually possible to do?)
I know it's probably a stupid question for the experts, but be nice, please..
Thanks
(ps, I'm based in the UK if that makes a difference)
