How do i fit a light with 3 terminal positons to a house with a ring main?

You'll need an additional piece of electrical connector, put all the lives in there, (Red old colours/ brown new) you'll then have 2 x neutrals (Black old colours/blue new) these go to the neutral on the new light.

You'll be left with a switched live (Black/blue, which should have a sleeve, though it may not) this goes to the live on your new fitting.

Earths to the earth on the fitting.

Leccy off first...


Edit..If you are unsure which is the switched live post a pic on here before commencing work

Just to be correct here you do not have a ring main at your light , well i hop not anyways. What you have is a lighting circuit and if you look on the videos section here it will tell you and show you exactly how to connect your new light up safeley and correctly .
