    Hello.

    I bought a chandelier that has a cube for 2 inputs to connect and I have 4 wires from the ceiling (black, brown, blue and green-yellow). Blue is neutral, phase is on black and brown. Yellow-green is plugged into the ankle but on the other hand no more cables come out.
    How to connect it so that it is possible to turn on 1 or 2 bulbs - 2-button switch. I am a complete layman when it comes to electricity.

    There were such topics, just look on the electrode.
    link

    And carefully consider the topics.

    I am a complete layman when it comes to electricity.

    So get the job done by a professional electrician, and he'll let you know what to do.

    If two cables come out of the chandelier, it is not possible to connect the light bulbs turned on separately with the first or second button in the switch.
    You turn everything on or off the chandelier.
    You can use a dimmer or convert the installation in the chandelier into three-wire, common neutral and separately the first and second light bulbs.

    Metal or dielectric chandelier?
    You may have a meter or some simple circuit tester.
    Because I conclude that the neon lamp to check where is the phase you have.

    Metal chandelier, cubes in the chandelier are in wires (two veins). I don't have a meter, just a neon sign.

    You probably want 1, 2 or 3 light sources to shine. Or none.

    Well, one bulb under one switch button, two bulbs under the other.

    You have to wonder if this can be done for your chandelier. If there was such a possibility, it would be done from the beginning.
    Where does this chandelier come from because I don't suspect it's a new one.
    Because the metal chandelier would have a yellow-green wire input.
    His photos would be useful.

    The daughter-in-law (sailor) bought two yacht-shaped chandeliers seen from the bottom (?), In each there were THREE BULBS and three ankle cables (one went on the mass of the chandelier), four cables came out into the ankle ceiling (another thing that the colors had "any" ...), double wall switches. With this combination of bulbs in the chandelier, of course, only three versions included or none, the son asked unconsciously whether I could manage to turn it on, 1, 2 or 3 bulbs, as a punishment he had to go for a beer and I converted both chandeliers at that time, even I found some quadruple cubes in the lumber of my son. Then my son checked in the company's offer that you had to specify how you want to turn on these bulbs, then they would do it but I would not make a brewery .... PS. Now I saw photos, kumaty electrician it will simply embrace.

    It can only be done if you can manage how you bought in a regular store, try to replace it with the one you want. On-line exchange may not be profitable. [known shipping costs].
    And such a conversion cannot be a makeshift.

    I bought online but I picked up myself in the store so I can give back. Thanks for the help.

    Added after 4 [minutes]:

    And by the way, if I connected it to what I have so that all 3 bulbs would burn at once, which cables should I connect?

    Black or brown and definitely blue.
    That is, one of the switch phases and zero of the blue.

    Only I suspect you have two cubes, in the chandelier and under the ceiling, you would need to connect them with the correct length of wire so that the other two green/yellow and from phase are not hanging in the air. Or the two from the cube should be switched to the chandelier. And leave the cube with green-yellow and phase. And expertly the green-yellow should be connected to the chandelier housing.

    Of course. But only when the chandelier is in protection class I.

    Subject to close. The lamp is factory-fitted for 2 + 1 connection. Thanks to everyone for your help. Greetings.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around connecting a chandelier with two inputs to a ceiling with four wires (black, brown, blue, and green-yellow) for controlling two bulbs using a two-button switch. The user seeks guidance on how to achieve this setup, as they are inexperienced with electrical work. Responses suggest that if the chandelier has only two wires, it may not support independent control of the bulbs. Suggestions include using a dimmer or converting the installation to a three-wire system. The user confirms the chandelier is new and provides images for reference. Ultimately, it is advised to connect the black or brown wire (phase) and the blue wire (neutral) to light all three bulbs simultaneously, while ensuring proper connections for safety.
