    Such a great help as I’m a single mum doing up my house and this has saved me the cost of an electrician. Very easy to follow and understand, just need to get some terminal blocks, wire and tape now! Really enjoying learning how to do diy jobs that were previously done by my sons dad and stumbling across your video has saved me hours of confusion- thank you.

    We bought our first home just over a year ago and so many of your videos have helped me do so much to my out dated home. Just popping on here to remind myself on the light swap I’ve already done 3 rooms but that was few months ago. Keep up with all your video and your living room is mega. We have the same colour on a feature wall in our dining room. Thanks

    I did this but used Wago blocks, which make it even easier. Offer a very secure ‘click in’ and ‘click out’ for the wires which saves on the fiddly connection with traditional blocks and I think is actually stronger/more reliable.

My garage electrics where condemed when purchasing my house so this was all disconnected. How do I go about getting power into there as I'm currently ripping all the rabbit runs of wiring that seems to lead no where. So what's best practice to take power from the home as my garage is not attach to the property. And would you need to add a separate consumer unit for that Sorry for tge lengthy question. I am a novice but follow instructions well and follow safety guidelines . Thank you.

    Thanks for this. I had to look up some wiring diagrams online along with your video, and together they got me there in the end. Cutting in a few of those diagrams into the video would help. My problem was that I wasn't swapping like for like: the original light had 4 connections inside, whereas the new light had only 3 connections inside. I had to put the 3 live wires from the mains into a 3 gang Wago connector to make it work.

    I am trying to fit a German light similar to yours in Ireland which seems to have the same system as the UK. The wires are extremely short, I had hardly enough space to get my screwdriver in and I could not really see anything, because I was a bit too short. Once I has wired everything up nothing happened… no light… 🙄
    Now I know how to extend the length of the wires and can give it another try rather than having to give up and live without a ceiling light in my bedroom.
    Thank you so much!
    Could you please also do a video on how to connect an induction hob? There is no socket and no box, the wires of the current hob are somehow directly connected to the wires in the wall and stuck together with a lot of duct tape.

    Great videos!, I just need help with something, I had to replace my ceiling rose as my new light fitting is smaller than the rose. so I have installed the Wago clips, however the problem I have is like your set up here my ceiling rose has three cables coming through the rose, basically it has 2 neutrals connecting into one connector like you did, however with the Wago clips you cant put two neutral wires into one hole on the wago, so I assumed by putting it into a 4 way wago clip so each neutral is now in its own connector, because there are 4 neutral cables including the cable to the light fitting, however since I have wired it up my living room light wont come on, in fact it has tripped the fuse switch. So is it because the two neutral wires aren't connected as one, and if so what would you recommend to do as the wago doesnt work with two wires in one hole, if its not that what could be causing the other light to trip off?!

    Good video. I've just had to replace the downstairs cloakroom light and there are even more wires! Cables to the extractor fan too. Unfortunately the light fitting has a large flat disc as the base plate so there is nowhere to put cables - they all need to go into the roof cavity. I've used Wago's for this and shoved them all up through the hole as you show here. But do they need to they need to go into a protective box? I thought wires just in their sheath should not be exposed? If I do need a box, can you recommend one that will fit through an enlarged but reasonably small hole in the ceiling. Not found one yet.....

    Great video thanks! Question regarding the existing wiring, how do you determine which wire is for the light switch etc?

    • @TheDIYGuy1

      You could do a continuity test and trace the wires.

    Hi why do you terminate the other 3 lives ??will all the other lights in the house still work when doing this ? And what happens if u put those 3 in the same terminal block as the switch live and connect it to the new light ?

    Great video definitely made it easier to understand, I just have one question If my light doesn't have the built in terminal blocks and they just have the live and neutral wire can I just connect them staright into the opposite end of the terminal blocks and then insulate them? Thanks.

    • @TheDIYGuy1
      @TheDIYGuy1  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi. Yes, just use your own terminal blocks.

    One other thing. Why is it that the original rose fitting had multiple same color wires, but you've essentially funneled them into 1 per color? Why don't all newbuild house lights just have the 1 wire per color?
