All sorted...a switch wire from the start of the circuit had been damaged at some point(probably a mouse). Weekend was messing around in the loft so maybe moved some cables etc......which caused arcing. Cable stripped back and reinstalled...all seems good.

Thanks....nothing has changed apart from replacing a transformer in the bedroom lights above the bed that had failed. I have disconnected that just to see - problem still there. I did some testing. All lights switches are reading 67v, apart from onsuite that is 240v - pretty sure that will...

I thought that....not checked any of the light fittings yet. Just seems weird everything seems to work after 5. Saying that I was fiddling with the bathroom cord connection when they came back on in the bathroom. Onething I have noticed is the bathroom light makes quite a loud buzzing...

Evening all. Bit of an odd issue I'm having last few days. Late afternoon the upstairs lights are very dim....apart from onsuite. 5 other lights(bedrooms, landing, bathroom) are dim, and you can't have more than one on at a time. Infact if you switch one on then go to the next and turn on, it...

There is earth in the wires...just not used. Not sure if it is connected in the ceiling mind. I'll replace the transformer as a short term fix. I don't use the lights really it's mainly the misses when watching bloody tiktok crap

I'll buy and new transformer and replace the down light bulbs which as you say will have blown.

No.....we don't have an actual dimmer switch. Just a on and off switch. I removed that thinking it was the issue(I think it failed) and not needed. Makes sense why it is tripping then. I'll order a new transformer and wire the same as before. I appreciate all your help chaps.

I just removed the dimmer transformer. No wires added. Attached is the original set up....the wire from the ceiling(red) came in switch(com), black wire from ceiling went in to small connection block......the other side of the conection block went into the transformer. The brown wire from the...

The 2 black wires are neutral. One from the actual light and one from the mains wires.

I haven't not touched the earth wire. I just removed the dimmer transformer that was wired into to all this. And was left with the wires from the ceiling and the light wires.

No earth is, or has been used within the switch. Attached is the wiring for the switch and the fuse box....upstairs lights is next left the the ground floor. That's the one that tripes. I have not checked where the wire coming from the ceiling comes from - maybe issue there. But all other lights...

Hey all 2 down lights above our bed stopped working. I removed what I thought was a faulty dimmer transformer(switch was a on and off switch anyway). 2 wires coming out of the sealing Red(live) went into coms, and black(netursl) went into a separate block. Wires from the light went into -...

Hey all Can anyone confirm what these are? I was thinking padstones? Thanks in advance.

Yeah.....i thought so. So the insurance policy would unlikely hold anything up. Of course we would pay this.

Not sure...would prefer to be honest. I'm sure would show something up from last search etc....
