Hi all,
So...... two pendant lights in my bedroom and two switches. I replaced the switches and am pretty sure I put the wires in the same place (I took a photo before I changed them and referred to it but have deleted it now so can't check). Someone else changed the ceiling roses, but I presume the switched live was already identified. I made a diagram, below, and the light in question has a green snowman on it (no ghost shape to hand).
One light (rose 1) works fine and both the switches turn it on/off.
The other light (rose 2) is on all the time, even when the wires are out of the switches.
As is clear from my post I don't know what I'm talking about and I do intend to get a qualified person in rather than swapping wires around ........ but it's driving me nuts and I've been staring at my ceiling pretty much all day and drawing pictures trying to unpick the logic in theory. Where is the light getting its power? How did I switch it on and off before?
I'd be very grateful if someone could suggest where the errors are. Or an exorcist.
Thank you!!!
