I have a tv signal splitter and booster wired into my lighting circuit in the loft (that is the only electrical circuit in the loft). The setup is a junction box running of the light main then through a switched fuse then the booster and splitter wired into another junction box. My problem is that when I switch on the light in the room underneath, the booster/splitter turn off. I know there is power still going into them because my electricity detector bleeps when it touches the cable after the switched fuse.
Is it possible that there is only enough current to run either the light or the boosters from the junction?
If so can I run another cable from the lighting main to the junction box before the switched fuse so the setup can pull power from two sources?
Or would I be better running the splitter off one junction box and the booster off another junction box further round the lighting main?
Sorry if it sounds complicated but this is the best way I seem to be ablte to explain my setup.
Please advise.
