So, I have 2 strip lights in a room, which are plugged into a ceiling rose affair (basically a bayonet fitting with an attachment and two sets of wires feeding the existing lights) and want replace it with a bog standard pendant whilst the ceiling is plastered and then put in a new nicer ceiling lamp.
I tried initially just putting a bulb into the existing bayonet fitting, but the light wont come on. Put the strip light fitting back into the bayonet, it works.
Went and bought a new pendant, removed the current fitting and wired in the pendant, power back on, standard bulbs still wont work. Plug the strip light fitting into the pendant, strip lights work..
Any thoughts on what am doing wrong - i just cant figure out why one set of lights work, others don't. It's all running off a junction box in the loft, nothing sophisticated i don't think..
Any suggestions appreciated.
