If you use wagos to make the connections it can save some time. You should invest in a voltage tester if you're planning on doing small electrical works for the rest of your life. The wand style are not as useful and safe as the normal voltage tester like the Martindale VT12. They are around the £30 mark but very useful and could save your life.

I want to replace the wall lights in the house.
Is it a case of take photo of wiring
Turn off electrics
Undo wires
Wire new lamp according to photo
Turn on electrics
I don’t have a volt pen or similar to check the electricity has deffo gone off - should I before attempting? There’s 10 to do so it would be a saving if I can do it myself
