So my wife has come home with a couple of Ikea lights. These use hooks to attach to the ceiling in place of standard pendant/roses and have a terminal block for attaching to the house wiring. This I understand and, using my rudimentary understanding of electricity and no small amount of insulation tape, I have successfully fitted our dining room light.
However, when it came to fitting it's smaller brethren in the hallway, I encountered a problem. The current rose is attached to not one set of wires but two. I understand (or Google informs me) that this is one of these and allows for more than one light switch. I have no idea how this works with the Ikea lights and their holes for a single live and neutral wire.
What do I do now? My wife needs her lights attached to the ceiling and working.
