    New light will not turn off
    I have replaced a pendant light in a bedroom with a 4 spotlight set the wiring was
    3 red -live
    2 black neutral
    Single black with red sleeve terminated on its own with no wires coming from the terminus
    Earth

    I have connected the wires as follows

    3 red to the live to light
    2 black to the neutral to light
    Earth to earth
    And terminated the single black/red to a spare in the terminal block

    Turned on the breaker , light came on, but will not turn off should the single black be connected in the new light?

    Dennis,

    What country do you live in? Do you know what your circuit voltage and amperage are?
