Hey there, I've recently taken the old tube lights down from the garage and bought a replacement standard light socket and switch, along with some mains lighting 1mm2 twin and earth cable.
I wired up the light socket as I always have (it was the same way the back of the packet suggests) and ran the wire from the switch to the light and wired that up accordingly.
When I turn the switch on there is power going to the light socket (tested with my curcuit testing screwdriver) and when I switch that light off that power subsides as you would expect for a light. The only problem is, the light isnt actually going on. :s
The bulb is working, and the light previously in the garage (exactly the same mains cable from the ceiling) worked prior to swapping it for a more modern fitting.
Any advice would be really helpful as I want to get the light working before my other half gets home!
Thanks.
