Hi julie
I actually sent this a couple of days ago, but to Mr Cheerfulls address by
mistake I think.
Put a 5amp fuse into the plug, then use 1.5mm lighting flex to wire the
light\s from the plug.Brown to (L) terminal live.Blue to (N) terminal
neutral.Yellow "or" green to (E) terminal earth. And you can have the 3
lights on the same plug if you wish by taking your next feed to the 2nd
light by coming from the terminals in the 1st light fitting to the next
repeating the same connections and colours etc.
I hope this makes sense to you?

I was finally able to get a set of 3- 2ft double bulb Flourescent
lights. On plain bulb and one warm.
They are the kind you have to wire yourself (they are meant for hard
wiring into the mains system).
The connections seem simple as do the directions. However since the
directions are for direct hard wire connection.....my hubby thinks
wiring them to connect via a plug will not be so simple. I am
enclosing a link to the directions. Once in view click on it and it
should blow up to full size if you click again (in Netscape anyway).
These were the least expensive (on sale 20% off at B&Q) and cheaper
than the ones that are already wired ( 4ft single battens with
diffusers -not useful).
I know I am not stating my case very well but I am not so wise in the
way of electricity :-/ .
Thanks
Julie
Any Question ask and I'll answer if I can.
The link is for Mains "hard wiring" How would you adapt to wiring via
a fused plug in connection instead?
