ᐅ Many Different Colored Wires for Light Fixture Connection – How to Connect the Light?

Hello everyone,

I have done some research, but unfortunately not all of my questions were answered or could be answered.
In some places, I have several colorful wires hanging from the wall or ceiling, and I am wondering what they are all for and how I can connect a lamp to them.

What I know so far:
blue to blue
brown to brown
green/yellow to green/yellow (if the lamp is not metal, this connection can be omitted)

That’s my current understanding... I know, it's pretty minimal.

I have attached two pictures, one from the bathroom and one from the hallway. I am really unsure here—maybe you can tell me how to connect all these colorful wires to the lamp, and why are there two blue, two brown, and two yellow wires in the hallway? Is it for connecting two lamps?

Honestly, just have an electrician take a quick look. It only takes a few minutes and that’s it.

How about hiring an electrician? With your level of knowledge, this won’t work out. Electricity can cause small but serious injuries, burns, and blackening. As a manager, you should be used to delegating tasks...

People are generally happy to help, but in this case, I agree with the previous commenters and recommend hiring a professional who is experienced in this area.

Hello sauerpeter

if your post is serious, meaning you’re not Paul Panzer, I’m really shocked.

I could have asked that too, and I grabbed the apprentice who was installing lamps in exchange for a small donation to the electricians’ widows’ fund. Karsten

Electric work is not about connecting wires by color. Do you have a two-pole voltage tester?
