I have just had a new ceiling fitted in my study following a water leak in the loft.
The old pendant was replaced with a new one by the guys that did the ceiling.
I have just fitted a new bulb and tried the light but it isn't working. I have checked that the bulb is working.
I have unscrewed the cover and there are two black wires, one going to the live and one to neutral. There are two reds which are commoned in some sort of white cap.
Using a screwdriver mains tester I have confirmed that the testers neon lights up on the two incoming blacks, and on the live and neutral going to the bulb holder. I have also tested the pins on the bulb holder and the testers neon also lights up so everything looks to be OK.
I have not as yet checked the two commoned reds.
I am a bit baffled at the moment as to why the bulb is not lighting and would appreciate any help.
Thanks
