Fig 3 – thank you! We have a 2-way rose which I attempted to replace today with a modern light from Dwell, and in my zest I neglected to note the original connections. In our case, connection 3′s wire is coloured black (I suppose the red cover came off or was never added). Anyway, I was able to figure it out thanks to your explanation and replacing the new light’s connectors with the old rose’s blocks.

Cheers mate, I took down a light fitting a few weeks ago and just had a bayonet fitting while decorating and in the period since its been unable to be switched on/off at the wall, had to use the circuit but …….. hey presto thanks to your site I have managed to put a new light up and subsequently managed to correct the fault.

This article was so helpful and I have sucessfully changed my ceiling rose in the bathroom. The bayonet fitting broke but had I to replace the whole thing but this site gave me the confidence to do it with clear sensible instructions. Thank you.
