Hi there,
I recently fitted a new ceiling rose. When I took the old one off I took pictures of the wiring as it didn't look to be done in a standard fashion but the old light had worked so thought I would wire the new one up the same.
When I did this the light just didn't come on no fuses blown.
So I went back to the diagram with the new ceiling rose wired it up as shown and blew a fuse so I figured I got the switched live wrong. Re fused and re wired and the light now works and dims perfectly only problem is that when it is off and I switch other lights on on the upstairs loop it comes on in varying degrees of brightness and when other lights are on and I switch this one on it dims the other lights.
I also noticed today when trial in another bulb that when no bulb is in the socket no other lights come on on the loop.
Please could somebody advise. I thought I may have got the switched live wrong again but I checked with a multimeter for continuity and It was correctly wired.
Hope someone can help I don't want to have to admit defeat and call the father in law in lol
Cheers
Joe
