Hi guys...

Hopefully someone can help me figure this out.

I've just refitted my bathroom and as part of it I wired the extractor fan and shaving socket to the lights. No problem. I also fitted a mirror with 2 LED down lights, and for ease of installation i connected them with choc block to where i had connected the fan and shaver.

All seemed well, however... The mirror lights are staying on for ages after the main light is switched off. Even longer than the over rub off the fan.

Any idea what's happening here??? I'm unsure how my lights are being powered.

.... They've been on for an hour so far!!

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Do they ever go off?
If not, they're connected to the permanent live.

If you've connected it to the shaver socket, indeed most likely is you've connected to permanent live. Hopefully you have a switch wire available.
