    Thanks for the video, swapping a standard white light fitting to a flush fitting glass one, what weight would plasterboard be able to hold ? The fitting from Next weighs 2.5kg

    • @FixitwithFowler
      @FixitwithFowler  2 месяца назад +1

      Hi, the plasterboard will hold it, but make sure you get some good plasterboard fixings like these amzn.to/3xwCwMc

    Hi, I’ve got a light fixture from IKEA that only has the live and neutral terminals and I’m trying to change a pendant fixture which I suppose has a live, neutral and ground… what do I do with the ground in this case please? Thank you so much in advance!

    • @FixitwithFowler

      Put all the earth's (green and yellow) together into a connector, but don't connect them to the new light. The new light fitting is double insulated and does not require an earth! Hope that helps you?

    Thanks for the video, the new led light I bought has two black wires and one green wire. Any suggestions?

    • @FixitwithFowler
      @FixitwithFowler  Месяц назад +2

      I would say the green wire is the earth. Does the black wires have any other markings or are there any markings on the connector?

    • @jyourell
      @jyourell Месяц назад +1

      @FixitwithFowler wow thanks for the quick response! No there are no markings. The black covering on the both the wires is peeled back a little on the left connector. I can see that the wire colour underneath is blue. Does that help?

    • @FixitwithFowler
      @FixitwithFowler  Месяц назад +2

      @jyourell the one with the blue will be the neutral and the other will be the live, hope that helps

    I did exactly the same and still not working but, on my case, one of the cable that comes out from the ceiling has 4 wires🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️, perhaps that’s the reason

      Hi, did you take a photo of the existing light before you took it down? Then you can double-check the wiring!
