How to Wire a Light: A Quick Guide

Wiring a light fitting can be straightforward with the right approach. Here’s a condensed guide in four steps:

1.Assess and Prepare: Ensure you’re confident in your ability to complete the task. If unsure, consult an electrician. Turn off the power at the consumer unit and confirm isolation with a voltage detector.

2.Remove Existing Fitting: Unscrew the old light bulb and fitting. If there are loose wires, proceed to the next step.

3.Identify and Connect Wires: Use a domestic test meter to locate the switched live wire. Once identified, screw the neutral and live wires into the correct terminal blocks of your new fitting.

4.Complete the Installation: Attach the lamp holder and light bulb. Finally, restore power and enjoy your new light!
