Ceiling rose comes on dimly when other lights switched on!

Wouldn't that open the CPD?

No.

If you mix up the black switched live with the INCOMING neutral, you end up with everything downstream of that light being placed in series with the light. When you switch other lights on, that light will glow dimmly.

It will only blow a fuse if you get the OUTGOING neutral muddled.

Follow the current path on this diagram (which I have adapted to make it incorrect!)

BAS - give it a rest.

I hadn't added anything for a day, and yet here you are telling me to give it a rest. You seem utterly determined to prove that you have a pathetic, childish motive for posting here, but that isn't necessary - we already know that's the case.

But in general, if you want me to "give it a rest", perhaps you could persuade your fellow travellers that groundless criticisms of me, made with the full knowledge that they are groundless (hence the advance refusal to even try to justify them), is where the "give it a rest" needs to begin.

Do keep up BAS. You posted 12/11 11:14 pm.

I was in bed then and did not visit this thread until the next day.

Unlike you, I don't spend most of the day and night on this site. I work for a living.

And if you ALL keep squabbling like this then the OP is going to be keeping away from the thread.

I would have no problem with the likes of RF and JML not starting any more squabbling.

To late.

Anyway I'm done on here

Thanks to all those who managed to contribute without bein condescending, patronising I really appreciated your input.
