No, missed that one. Apologies. I am posting photos shortly.

No, the neon tester. Is it imperative to buy a multimeter? I have used neon testers all my life.

On both ceiling lights both switch wires were identified with a neon tester screwdriver. Also, just in case the neon tester is faulty, I wired using all permutations. The light in one room works but not in the other.

Done Plan A but still no joy. The light in room No. 1 is fine but not in No. 2 which will not light together with other lights in the house. Checked and rechecked the wiring several times. :(

Determined the switched wire, rechecked the connections, everything appears perfect and yet the light in one of the rooms does not work together with other lights in the house. I am at a loss...

Thanks but only have neon tester screwdriver.

I took photos of the wiring but somehow got it wrong (photo not clear which wire is which) because it doesn't work and I have tried all three permutations. One room is OK.

With a neon tester screwdriver.

I am trying to wire back two ceilings lights in adjacent rooms but on trying to identify the "switch wire" in one of them I find 2 of the 3 black wires are live! How is this possible? Two should be neutral and one, the switch wire, live. In the other room it's OK, one live out of three. Help please.
