Hi
can anyone help me please.
I have put up a outdoor light. (Not pir, just normal on/off).
I fed a cable from an existing rose.
Live to the centre connectors.
neutral to the neutral connector( not the sleeved live).
earth to earth..
this is fed into the outdoor light, which has a block connector in it.
this has a line, neutral and earth , retrospectively wired into each block.
I have wired the cable from the rose, into the light, with each wire connected (Line-Line, Neutral - Neutral and Earth to Earth).
I have then fed a cable from the light connectors, wired as above.
This then leads to a switch, line to Com, neutral, sleeved live wire. To L2. Earth to the pattress.
when I turned the power back on, the light worked, (switch was in the on position).
when I flicked the switch, it tripped the mcb.
Does it matter which connection the live switch, sleeved wire goes into, L1 orL2.?
Have I connected it up wrong somewhere?.
Thanks in advance
