Two rooms have fancy electronic switches (one touch panel one and one lightwaverf) so they do nothing anyway. The remainder we can obviously turn off we have. One was upside down in the spare room and not sure if the electrician turned it round when he looked at it today. That was the one I also...

To add to the above... Regardless of switch position... Both terminals on each light switch are also hot

One downlight flickered, they all then dimmed down and briefly came back on before going out again and none came back since. MCB. Thanks for confirming my sanity... Thought everything was fine with that parallel statement and installation. So a general update... Did some proper testing...

Thanks for clarifying. As I say it is possible then that something has been disturbed when the electrician pulled the junction box down for the light. Will check it out later if the loft is a more bearable temperature by then ha

I will be able to tell for sure when I'm home. Will update then :) Didn't realise they can trip unnecessarily. It is possible surely all what was discussed earlier is still relevant? The potentially loose connection wherever could have been did not caused the MCB to trip if the circuit was...

No easy way to work out which is the first light in the circuit? The electrician mentioned a test (from my Dad's explanation I assume this was possibly a continuity test) - but he didn't have time to do it today. So I guess there is maybe an easy way to identify the first light, but it isn't...

Having a look on Google the ones you mentioned both have test switches / buttons? The 'breaker' in question does not have anything other than the toggle / trip switch - I believe it is an MCB When I say it is fine - This is because it is tripping - If it was faulty it would not trip at all...

Electrician said the MCB is fine (and it is tripping OK) Means the fault is likely on the live / neutral or the switched live. But it is a bit difficult to tell if the bathroom pull string light is on or off - so I think I'm correct in saying if we switch all other switches off and disconnect...

Sounds good Thanks for the helpful responses! Will help out a lot when I check it out later on

Thanks for the clarification EFLImpudence! That will help with troubleshooting a lot! Done work on bits here and there but never actually got to the 'end' so didn't know if it goes back to the CU or not. So just to make sure my understanding is correct. Say we have lights 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6...

Thanks! I wasn't sure from reading online about loose neutrals/lives whether or not a break in the circuit somewhere would knock the whole circuit out and not allow power to anything. But as said that's quite odd as nobody touched anything unless it was movement on a loose connection somewhere...

Yeah just this one off time, one individual light flickered (so need to look at that specific transformer) then the rest all did the same simultaneously after then they didn't' come back on. From what I can tell it is an MCB, there is a separate RCD on the board. That seems to be the case, a...

Hi all Had a situation where one bathroom downlight (MR16) flickered, then they all went down but the MCB didn't trip. Now none of the lights work upstairs and just wondering if anyone has any ideas please on what this may be? I have read about a loose neutral and if I'm correct this...

Hmm will give it a double check Based on the fact I'm not using speaker + and -, just using speaker - ... should I expect that volume control to still work? I figured it is now just simply sending a 'signal' to the pyronix and it makes the chirp at whatever noise the pyronix itself is set to?

It is night set I tried Just as a double check, should it be a clockwise or anti-clockwise turn for quieter?

To be honest in speaker function it is a bit loud even at the lowest settings. But that wasn't my reason for purchasing it anyway, I really wanted it as a siren for which it is perfect. So I may end up disconnecting the speaker wire. Very nice build quality and reasonbly discreet looking too...

All sorted and installed, thanks! This worked: Honeywell to Pyronix AUX+ to 12V+ AUX- to 12V- S- to BA Speaker - to SPK

Ahh right. My main aim is to really only have it sound when the alarm sounds, but if it can mimic keypad tones (at an adjustable volume) I guess that's a bonus Any advice on where to make the connections? I guess 'speaker' for the keypad tones, but what is the best way to linking it in with the...

That's quite well priced Couple of Q's if you don't mind please as I assume you've used that unit before. How is the cabling? Because for 'speaker' on my panel I simply only have a + and - connection, no tamper, so how would it know? Also, how does it differentiate (understand) between the...

Apologies I forgot to reply here. Thought I had. I've looked into it more now and the system is a Honeywell Intellisense st800l+ I believe from reading the manual (link below) that I can set it to have a lower volume when on night set mode, so to avoid waking people up that are already...
