Installing a Ceiling Light

VJ
by VJ

Hi all,


I recently got a light fixture for the ceiling and found out the wires in my existing system and the new light doesn't match.


The new one has following wires:



  1. Blue color (label: N) {possible Neutral Wire}
  2. Brown color (Label: L) {possible Line , phase wire}
  3. A bare Brass Wire


The old System has 3 Wires:



  1. Black thick
  2. Black thick
  3. Green thin


Can someone please suggest how to map the wirings?


I believe one Brown goes to Black (but which Black)

Bare goes to Green


Please suggest. Thanks


Note: What if i connect the wrong black ones ? What can be the potential issues

New system with brown, Blue, Bare wires
Old system with 2 black and 1 green wire.
