Thanks for everyone's help here. The problem was there BEFORE I changed the light switch. I suddenly lost my lights in the living room and hall way, so firstly changed all the bulbs and that didn't solve the problem. So then changed the double switch that controls both living room and...

I have no lights in my living room OR hallway. Would it be that BOTH light connections, hall & living room could have burnt or loose wires at the same time ( just my luck to have ! ) ? I'll have a look in both and give it a try. Also while I'm on, the double switch that I replaced was...

Thanks for the quick reply and it was you who helped me out fitting the light last week, many thanks for your help and advise. So now I can use the spurred switch that saves a lot of work. The new light I want to fit is only about 2 or 3 metres away from the spurred switch and where the...

I have recently fitted a 150w outside spot to light up the garden. I took the feed from a double socket using a fused spur switch. I know need to fit a 2nd outside light near my back door. Can I use the same spurred switch to attach a 2nd light or do I need a separate spur from another socket...
