Can anyone tell me how to connect a track light to the last outlet of a loop-in lighting circuit? I've got the switch cable and the end of the circuit cable coming down from the ceiling. I've tried connecting the switch live feed to the fitting's live wire, and the neutral feed to the fitting's neutral wire but no joy. Help?

this is a strange one..any chance of a pic?
where are the loop in/out lives at?
no chance you've swapped round sitched live/neutral?

the live from the lighting cuircuit goes to the red core of the switch cable but does not connect to the light at all (you will often have to use chock block for this)
the neutral from the lighting cuircuit goes to the neutral of the fitting
the switched live (black core of the switch cable) goes to the live of the fitting
the neutral from the lighting cuircuit goes to the neutral of the fitting

You could mount a ceiling rose adjacent the live end of the track, to carry the looping cable connections, and then run a short flex to the track, if that is easier.
