Thanks but all I need is advice for simply testing continuity of wires and especially to make sure that the switched live wire is in the correct connection. I am trying to simplify my task and cut down on reading and watching videos which, BTW, I have already done plenty. Thanks again for your help.

Got one! Can you now please tell me how to use it? What is the setting to test continuity of wires? Thanks.

Finally got myself a multimeter. What is the setting to test continuity of wires? Please advise. Thanks.

Spot the mistake in Room 1? Please enlighten me. Thanks for coming in.

Thanks endecotp. I'll do that.

Stop throwing punches!

Your Plan A suggests that I should become a professional electrician before tackling the problem and at my age I am not prepared to do that. Thanks anyway. I've learnt a few things I didn't know so I am improving!

Thanks for the advice. Thrown one that didn't work but kept the one that does. The repair is now beyond my capability in electrics but I've learnt quite a lot posting here. Thank you.

I don't possess an instrument to test continuity of all wires, hence my reply. I didn't ignore the advice, on the contrary.

The bulb is OK. The connections on the rose are sound but, as you say, the problem could be elsewhere. It looks as if I will have to succumb and call an electrician. Thanks for coming in.

No. 2, as No. 1, 3 red wires and the switched live have juice. The two neutrals are together and the three earth as well. Beats me that it doesn't work.

You are right! But desperation is setting in and have now tried everything in the book, I think.

Both connections are identical but No. 2 does not work together with other lights in the house.

No, it doesn't. 2 doesn't work at all together with other lights in the house.
