Yep makes sense - will check with them unconnected then connected, when connected resistance should be minimal. cheers

(imagine this photo rotated 90 degrees clockwise - but you get the idea with the snipped cables) Yep makes sense - will need to check the existing cables, although testing is going to be a bit of a chore with the cables being as short as they are, the rose end isn't so bad but switch end has...

Pics are just uploaded to photobucket and linked, nowt more than that. Having taken a look in the switch box now, can confirm that there is a snipped pair of black cables in the box (very similar to what is in the spare light fitting), so im assuming that once upon a time the light fitting...

Thanks for the reply - sorry think i was just in the process of resizing, if you refresh it should be ok now. On the working light front, I haven't whipped that other one down yet, was aiming to do so at the weekend once I had purchased the pair of new light fittings. intending using these...
