OK so I decided to get rid of the chandeliers in my house and replace them with 3 basic ceiling roses; I've already done this in a few rooms but something has gone wrong and we have no lights in the living room or in the porch & outside (of which I didn't touch!).
The wife is not happy with me
I have attached a diagram and would be over the moon if anyone could see any problems. I'd rather not employ an engineer to fix my bad DIY and would genuinely like to learn how to do this right. It's been keeping me awake last night :/
The issue is that the lights in the living room now won't turn on. No fuses are blown, and light #3 works fine, it's also the lights in the porch and oustide that I have since realised are also affected.
I wired lights 1 & 2 as per the instructions on the new rose itself, rather than copying what had been done before (big mistake I know). I identified which were the switch wires with my multimeter and you can see those marked in light #1. For light #2 there were seemingly no switch wires so I put them in the place where the other non-switch wires went in light #1. I have since used my head and moved these so the red is in the live box, but it hasn't helped.
Maybe of use: Since wiring up light #3 I now get a negative result when testing for switch wires on light #1...so I assume the circuit is broken somewhere?
Also note I have a dimmer switch in the living room.
I have a diagram and have posted it below - the porch is to the left of light #3.
