Halogen Spotlight Fitting - HELP!

skonz

Hi. Could some one shed some light for me :rotfl:(Cheesy I know!)

Basically I have a spotlight I want to install. The manual states I have to remove the ceiling rose to get the bracket to fit. On the light the wiring goes into a block. I know where all the wires go but there is a seperate terminator block I have to use. This is the part I am stuck with! Anyway in the ceiling rose there are 3 red wires which says loop. The terminator block only has room for 2 wires, Do I put 2 in 1 end and 1 in the other?

Scott.

That is spot on! I see in the pic they put the 3 loops wires into the terminator block! Thank you!

English and your description=clear as mud...

Please take all standard precautions with electricity.
The light cables attach the same as the original light ie one wire to either end. These are the "switched" live/return. The reds all together stay together and no additions here either, the red wires are "permanently" live. The other blacks are neutral/returns and left alone.
