Hello, I have removed an old fluorescent tube light from above a dressing table recess between 2 built in wardrobes. It was operated by a light switch on the wall in the dressing table recess.
I have installed a new led light which has the live, earth and neutral wires ready identified for connection. It has its own on/off switch on the side of the new light unit. However, the wires I removed from the fluorescent tube were 2 of each live, earth and neutral.
I am guessing that these are a set from the switch in the dressing table recess and the other set of 3 from the supply. The supply being another light switch in the room next door.
Normal operation, I would like, would be to use the switch on the recess wall to switch the new light on and off. The new light unit is too high for normal operation to have to use the switch on the light unit.
How should I connect the 3 wires from the new light to the 6 wires that I disconnected from the old light fitting ? Thanks for your advice.
