Been out this morning to a job where customer told me her newly-replaced light fitting didn't work.
She told me it stayed on all the time.
When I looked at how it was wired, there were three conductors present at the ceiling position:
switched live
2 x neutral
The switched live she had put in the loop terminals on its own.
The neutrals went to either side of the lampholder.
It worked, but would not switch off....
PLEASE MAKE A NOTE OF WHAT WIRES GO WHERE BEFORE YOU DISCONNECT!
