Kitchen Lighting (ceiling rose help!)

kevin0481

Hi all...

I've just removed a very old strip light from the Kitchen and planned to put up a bog standard 4 light fitting...

On removing the strip light I've been left with the follwing !

3 reds into junction box - taped off
1 black same - taped off
2 blacks - went into the stip light but being an idiot , I cant remember if the went into the live or the netural... On thing is that they both went into the same

I then have 3 bare earth fittings from each cable wound together , due to me removing the lights on the lower floor of house are not working ...

Bottom line ... I cant get the light fitting to work , I've tried all varioations of above and put the 2 blacks into live and netural and separated however no avail....

Any help ??

Thanks
