Hi guys, hope you can help.

I've just been round my sisters where her partner has been trying to replace a ceiling rose. Unfortunately he didn't mark which wires went where!

There is now four cables coming out of the ceiling each with a red/blue/earth thats 12 wires in total.

I believe I've established which is the switch because I put a voltimeter across each red/black and only one gave me a reading (power is obviously off)

Question is; what to do now. All help appreciated.

Cheers

Red and blues Question

Normally red and black or Brown and blue Exclamation

Normally join all the reds together and place in a block and tape up.
The black/blue that comes from the switch goes to the live in of the light fitting. The 2 remaining black/blues go to the neutral of the light fitting.
