I recently asked my builder to tap into my wall a new wall switch that will control 2 round pinned sockets.
He apparently did this.
However, i just bought 2 floor lamps, and swapped the plugs on them to the MK round pin plugs (no fuse)...
The lights dont work, but DO work when i plug them into a normal socket (with the normal square pinned plug).
So, i used an electric screwdriver on the round pinned plug. It lights up on both the neutral and the live when the plug is plugged in to the round pinned socket. Is that normal? Any idea where the circuit is going wrong - as it obviously has power.
Frustrated that i got him to do all the electrics and now i have a problem getting the lights to work!!
Thanks
