  • Greetings,

    I need to replace the minging old kitchen light and have bought a shiny new one to replace it.
    The new light has a much smaller diameter central section than the old one and as such, the old cables that were newly hidden before are not going to fit in.

    My question - can I just cut the old ones (the ones not in use) away and seal off with some insulation tape?

    Cheers,

    Joe

  • Joe, the answer to your question is a big fat NO!
    As Tango130 has already said, those are not redundant cables, so don't go snipping anything at all.
    Thought this was worth reiterating if you are still alive.

  • Please to report that I am still very much alive. The old light is still in place though...so there's still time.
