I agree with zax, please start a new thread, otherwise you will find some people waste effort answering the original question at the top of the thread [which is long dead, hopefully].

i am having a bit bother wiring a light.
i have 2 gray flex cables with a 1 green 1 red and 1 black coming out of both and a single black wire by itself. when the single black is connected to one other the blacks in the gray flex my landing light comes on so guess its on a circuit even tho the power is cut off from the fuse box.
i can get my bedroom light working but when i switch the light switch off or on the light itself stays on.
could anyone shed any light on this for me
(pardon the pun)
